> Kickstarter may survive since they enjoy near monopoly status, but otherwise how can they compete given that high performers in tech are allergic to unions? "high performers" aren't going to be satisfied by Kickstarter's compensation at first place thus won't apply there. Also good luck arguing to your boss you are a "high performer" in a company that has "progressive performance evaluation", by what measure? This is a none issue.
