Indeed. This whole post is a frustrating exercise in how not to do arithmetic. It's not Kickstarter's fault that he failed to budget the vast majority of his costs -- and failed to proof the product before shipping. Maybe next time he should invest a couple thousand up front and get a competent project manager.
- preinheimer 12y agoWhere in the post is he blaming kickstarter for anything? It's not the post I'm reading. The post starts with the kickstarter & transaction fees because they come off the total amount raised. The entire thing seems to have been delivered on time, and would have returned a reasonable amount of money without the reprinting & 2nd mailing costs. As someone who saw the original version (with typo), and missed it entirely: it's easy to miss.
- brazzy 12y agoHeck, I had to look three or four times before I saw the typo, knowing that there was one!
- cameronmoll 12y ago"It's not Kickstarter's fault that he failed to budget the vast majority of his costs..." Definitely not. But this is a primary reason for authoring the article—a heads up to others who may launch a KS campaign and not fully understand where all the money might go.
