OK so I'll launch a Kickstarter project, 10s of thousands of people will back me and I'll just say that I can refund their money after charging them. I think only several hundreds will request the refund, the rest is mine then?
- tekacs 13y agoThis seems rather unlikely (hyperbole, to be frank) - those using Kickstarter are surely aware of the nature of the platform, not thinking of it as a checkout. Unless the refund process is unduly complex, there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason why the vast majority of backers wouldn't ask for a refund.
- jmharvey 13y agoI think a lot more Kickstarter backers (especially on big projects like this one that attract a lot of first-time backers) think of Kickstarter as a checkout than as a way to contribute to cool projects and get something in return if the project succeeds.
- widdershins 13y agoThat's their problem. Kickstarter isn't exactly duping them.
- alpb 13y agoI don't. I actually invest in projects and wait for them to get their product out. Sometimes I just back projects for donation (e.g. remember Aaronsw Documentary project).
