kickstarter, like so many things is only as awesome as the people that use it. If your friends suck, then yeah.. it's gonna suck. I've supported several projects and really only 1 of them felt like the "investment" you envision with the tea shop. Watch this guys video, seriously.. it's well done. Also, he literally spent months recording the cover songs that people chose after donating 100$ or more. I'm not talking about him and a guitar... I'm talking arrangements. He actually cared about the fact that people were entrusting their money to him. He feels obligated/indebted. I know that he struggled with the whole "hand out" thing and therefore, it never seemed like one.
Just saying, it can be cool if it's done right. But I agree, it's more often than not horrible. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/timothymonger/timothy-mo...
