Kickstarter allows anyone to raise money for anything, with zero accountability. They appear to do little to no vetting of those proposing projects, and when bad actors take off with the loot, KS will tell you too bad, that they are nothing but a pass-through for the funds, and have no way of getting them back. But, most important to them, they kept their cut, and you, the sad, exploited consumer, can go to hell.This is all ludicrous, of course, as KS provides a platform for every single campaign they host, and should take responsibility for the outcomes of those campaigns, especially when they know very well by this point that lots of people show up with no intention of doing anything but separating people from their money.If we translate this to real life, and make KS, I don't know, a shopping mall, would anyone really accept many of the stores in that mall stealing people's money and giving them nothing? Would people just walk away and say, "well, what can you do"? Would the landlord really be able to claim no accountability over any period of time, or would they be sued into oblivion for permitting criminal activity to proliferate?As long as the money keeps coming in, and KS gets to keep the percentage they charge, they will not do a thing about this.STAY AWAY
