Someone suggested this below. Maybe they should pivot (slightly, more like adding a new feature) and offer a Kickstarter-as-a-service SDK to products that would fall outside their liability-acceptance zone. That way they can still take their cut and offer a valuable service to folks who want to offer funding campaigns.
EDIT: For clarity, the idea is Kickstarter provides some sort of white-labelled page to show a counter and collect/skim funds. I have to imagine liability falls back to the originating company at that point.

This seems like a natural, albeit complicated and delicate evolution. It shifts the burden from ks on high-risk projects elsewhere and in doing so can put it in the hands of people with experience navigating the niche-fields. It further expands and helps crowdfunding grow; go for it I say.
- toomuchtodo 14y agoStackoverflow charges ~$200/month to have your own QA site on their platform. I'd drop at least a couple hundred bucks a month on my own Kickstarter SaaS site that funds R&D science/technology research. If you're on the Kickstarter team, read this ,and are interested, get in touch. I have my credit card in hand.
