Not everybody does their research, a 'honest' site has a moral obligation to protect its users. In the age when even free browsers give out warnings against phishing sites to protect their users, is it too much to ask them to block far fetched projects like the dragon fly?
- jeffmould 11y agoI get what you are saying, but I still think your expectation is misplaced. The question becomes who makes a determination as to what is "far fetched". Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers had people telling them they were crazy with their ideas. Kickstarter and those sites are about innovating. Many people said Pebble and the cooler were far-fetched Kickstarter ideas. It really comes down to what risk you are willing to take. Because someone doesn't want to do their research, that is not the site's fault at all. In fact the site is very clear that you should do your own research and that there is risk (https://www.kickstarter.com/trust https://www.kickstarter.com/trust). There is an enormous difference between a browser determining a site is a phishing site vs whether a product that has yet to be made will be a success. Maybe these sites aren't for you and the risk level you are willing to take, there is nothing wrong with that and I am not knocking you for it, but that's not the site's fault.
