what is a cash grab about this? seriously i don't see how giving schools access to something for free that he is already making $$$$$$ off of is a cash grab. Do you really think he hasn't invested any of his own money into this project? Do you really think its just a chance to stay in the spotlight? Who the hell cares that it is a for profit firm, if they want to make some money off of teaching kids how to read why do you care? Did you know teachers get paychecks too?

You couldn't be more wrong and for that all i have to say to you is:

The minecraft bridge building fiasco was a bunch of goons overreacting to me getting frustrated with people overreacting to me taking down the bridges they kept building in a minecraft project i was curating a long time ago. Since then I've gone on to get a real job in the horrible city of portland, or where i need to cross multiple terrifying bridges every day and i literally shake with angst when this happens

Pittsburgh has more bridges than Portland.

Pittsburgh's city limits only encompass 54 square miles in a much larger urbanized area; Portland encompasses over 140 square miles. If you consider the urbanized Pittsburgh area and not the artificially constrained city limits, you're looking at over a thousand bridges easily.

It isn't. Portland is the Pittsburgh of the Pacific Northwest. I read that in a book somewhere.

Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

in non-shitsburgh news, reading rainbow has begun phase 2, setting a stretch goal of $5m for ios, android, and video game/ott box versions, as well as upping the number of subsidized classroom versions of the app from 1500 to 7500

while i don't agree with bsd's blatant cash grab stuff i can definitely agree these dudes are smooth operators. apparently if they hit 5 there'll be yet another, even bigger stretch goal that they're keeping under wraps

and here i go defending them again but tbf their page said "if we hit $1million we'll introduce stretch goals, but 100% of the money will go towards expanding accessibility and subsidizing classes" and this first set of stretch goals sounds like exactly that

the irony is that it's BECAUSE the fact that they're a business that they're so good at this. they're not promising anything they can't deliver, and even the stretch goals are totally realistic. this isn't one of those "if we get $10m everyone gets a pony" kickstarters

7500 subsidized schools is a p great thing

yeah, i like how the head guy who isn't lavar labels himself as a "recovering movie producer." it's the kickstarter-est way you could possibly say "i am literally a professional at handling millions and millions of dollars and running massive pr campaigns, i know what i'm doing here"
