What amuses me about Kickstarter is that the stuff that's actually going to work, that's 100% definitely going to ship - that is to say, Alibaba resales, existing product repackaging, etc - are the one thing that Kickstarter doesn't allow. But if you want to create a project that literally breaks the laws of physics, something which a high-school science student could demonstrate is physically impossible, Kickstarter will proudly slap their editor's recommendation on your project and help you pimp it to the media so you can widen your net and catch more suckers to siphon money from. Stuff like Water Seer, Fontus, Solar Roadways, Triton Artificial Gills - that's all I think of when I think about Kickstarter now. Their brand is utterly toxic to me, and don't even get me started on Indiegogo!
