>> "what's in it for me"
You get more for your pledge than you would just purchasing the product. e.g. the product is offered cheaper to pledgers or comes in a limited edition. Kickstarter will only continue to work if project creators offer something extra to pledgers. A lot of people seem to be using it as a pre-order service to help fund development. They need to offer more, realising that people are taking a risk by funding them.

But you need to do the mental math for the project. e.g. I would get 20% more. But I think the project is only 80% likely to ship. And the project founder is cool so I'd give them a few bucks anyway.
