Kickstarter started with a noble purpose: to bring innovative ideas to life. However, it’s become a breeding ground for scams, leaving backers unprotected when creators disappear—something that happens far too often. Kickstarter offers no recourse for backers if a project creator disappears and the project falls through. KS puts all responsibility on us to vet project creators. Despite my best efforts, three out of my last seven backed projects turned out to be scams. Where does my money go? Some to Kickstarter, some to the project creators, and nothing back to me.It would be a huge step forward if Kickstarter offered some kind of insurance policy to protect backers from these scams. Until there’s a change to help those who are defrauded, I’m done with Kickstarter. To the legitimate creators out there, I’m sorry—it’s only going to get tougher for you on this platform.
