Dude there's a website and he's crowdfunded almost half a million dollars. I almost feel bad linking it. Almost.
Now it's at $1.8 million. Guess his Joe Rogan Experience appearance really payed off. One of my friends posted this to his Facebook earlier today: Me, though, I just think a lot of people are quite stupid. Could be a bit of both, though.I'm starting to think that there must be Kickstarter financing companies - companies that dump a bunch of money into a Kickstarter, to give the campaign an appearance of legitimacy and viral popularity, and once the campaign is funded and complete, that money is returned, plus interest, to the financing company. Its the only logical explanation of the fact that there are hundreds to thousands of absolutely idiotic Kickstarter products that exceed their funding goals by like 300% within days. I constantly see products that have zero press coverage and/or social media buzz, but inexplicably get $500,000 dollars of funding in 2 days for ... a seat cushion... or flavored tea bags.... or jeans.
