I'm sure you're a cool guy but shut your stupid whore mouth about anime. If there was a kickstarter for weaboo shock collars that were triggered by not shutting the gently caress up about anime, it would be the first and only one I'd fund.

If you search Kickstarter for projects using the search term 'youtube' there's a cavalcade of ridiculously pathetic projects where people make horribly low effort project videos begging for thousands of dollars so they can start a youtube channel.

DatBoi_IRL
"DatBoi_IRL is a project inspired by the meme Dat Boi. What we want is to make Dat Boi come alive in a series of YouTube videos with Dat Boi traveling around large cities in Denmark (and, if this becomes a success, Europe) on a unicycle."

YouTube Kissing Show
"Today we gather money, to create the new project on YouTube. You've never seen anything like this
The programme has several strands:
How to pickup girls/boys
The science of kissing
Street prank show
Collaboration and many other
Everything videotaped with the participation, accidental transitive."
A teenage boy making a youtube channel about kissing. His parents are his camera crew/editor. It got funded.

The Cooking With Yoda Show! (Youtube Channel)
"It will be a channel where i talk like yoda and cook different types of food using plastic yoda hands if the peoples would like... "

WHAT'S CHAPPENING? - Lip balm review video series
"My plan is to make a YouTube web series titled, "What's Chappening?" In this series I will review various lip balms.
I will use this kickstarter to gain the funds to purchase several lip balms up front, which I will then review in my videos.
We all love and use lip balms, but spending your hard earned money on new mysterious flavors is risky! Thankfully, my web series will take the risk for you, which will allow you to make safe, informed purchases."

At first i was like wow - Mateusz backed 234 Projects .. but sadly it all just seems to be some kind of scam to seem like an active part of the kickstarter community.
If you check out his backing history https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1841222921 you'll see that there is not a SINGLE project he truely supported but there are nothing but 1$ fake-pledges to projects that obviously wont succeed.
Did your great marketing team tell you to deceive the community?

Do you happen to be Russian? Someone Russian used my credit card number to make a purchase as a guest on paypal....the same day we helped fund your project...that's twisted. Sick and mean and wrong and bad. Heads up. Investigation is beginning...

:capitalism:


Edit: ah ha ha ha ha ha, I did a google search and found this old Reddit discussion:

quote:

"YouTube Kissing Show" is a Kickstarter that seems to be entirely funded by desperate creators who "cross-fund" (pledge to each others project).

He messages them and offers to back their projects with $1.5 for ever $1 they give to his project. However most of the projects he backs won't get funded and he can also cancel his pledge.

Here is his backer history: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1841222921
Here is the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1841222921/youtube-kissing-show
I can't think of any rules this breaks, but it seems wrong somehow.

Here's a Fable cardgame made by some ex-Lionhead dudes. Considering Microsoft still owns the license and the game is only coming to PC and Bone it's pretty obvious that MS is skulking somewhere in the shadows. Pretty loving shady but then again Sony probably did the exact same thing with Amplitude.

Large cities in Denmark are pretty easily counted. One.

Copenhagen has a little over a million people. The second largest, Aarhus, has about 240k.
