Even if I cared, that would depend on the union demands. Why would I care for "salary equity, diversity in hiring, and wanting a seat at the table when it comes to company decisions"? That list of goals is 2/3rds evil, 1/3rd the exact opposite of what a content creator wants of their platform.

- egypturnash 7y agoI’m a content creator who has run three successful Kickstarters. It has generally been a great thing for me, I’ve been able to use it to make self-publishing comics a much less financially risky affair than it was before crowdfunding. I do not think any of those goals for their employees are evil, or the exact opposite of what a content creator wants out of a fundraising platform. I am all for shrinking the gap between what the company heads and the lowest employee make; I am all for it not being nothing but straight white dudes (I’m not one myself), and I have no problem with their employees having a voice in how the place is run. Especially with KS having restructured itself as a Public Benefit Corporation rather than a pure-profit affair; there is a certain sort of “put your money where your mouth is, guys” thing going on once you’ve made that decision IMHO, and firing union organizers is really not a good look.
