I've recently seen something similar when Paul Rigby launched his crowdfunding campaign for "Don't Do That, Donald" https://unbound.com/books/dont-do-that-donald/ https://unbound.com/books/dont-do-that-donald/. With tens of thousands of followers, many teaser images posted over more than a year, an apparently well designed products, and a widely talked about subject, I thought he would hit his funding levels trivially, but it seems to be surprisingly slow going.
