I’ve had a few successful experiences with Kickstarter in the past, but unfortunately, my most recent project backing will be my last.Too many creators disappear with backers’ money, and Kickstarter takes no responsibility. Despite hosting these campaigns, the platform washes its hands of any accountability when things go wrong.My bank attempted to dispute the charge, but Kickstarter responded with a 12-page document defending their right to keep the funds. They pointed to the fine print, claiming I had agreed to these terms — essentially excusing themselves from any duty of care.At this point, I simply don’t trust Kickstarter or its creators. Once you’ve paid, you’re on your own — even if it becomes clear that the project was never going to be fulfilled. It’s a system that allows bad actors to exploit people with little to no consequence.Good luck to anyone still willing to take the risk. I won’t be making that mistake again.
