I worked with the Crowd Supply people as a project creator a couple of years back. They didn't seem to have any sophisticated AI that was trying to manipulate users into buying crap - they did have plain ol' Google Analytics, but they also went to the effort of removing unnecessary JavaScript from their site so that NoScript/AdBlock wouldn't run into any issues. I think it's more a fundamental issue related to crowdfunding itself - you buy a product that you're interested in at the time, but don't receive anything until a year later. By then, there's a decent chance you've moved on and no longer need it.
