here is what i am talking about, this guy wanted 50k to record an album when previously he had spent 1300 to record one. this is one of the many things i have posted, if you are actually reading them. there was a vice article about it too. you are going to keep dissecting every one of my sentences, so i am out. i already said it before,we don't agree and don't have to. if you want to keep needling away go for it, since that is obviously your style and no one is right but you. other people who posted in this thread obviously remembered who you were and chose not to defend their position with you further, for good reason.
I didn't click the link, but if someone wants to ask people for a million dollars on kickstarter, so what? They won't get it if they haven't developed the fanbase to give them that. We can all laugh at their ridiculous expectations, sure. But what does that have to do with the actual system we're debating? Nothing at all. That's like someone saying the entire genre of punk sucks because Sum41 exists. Like I've said over, and over, and over, but you've been too thick to let it sink in... we're not debating whether or not kickstarter has fallibility. My only issue with what you've said is that you think it's inherently wrong, or less earnest for a band to put up a kickstarter campaign no matter what the specifics are because you think it's a fundamentally flawed idea that somehow automatically cheapens a musicians intentions. You keep bringing up structural issues, which is fine. But what I'm getting from you is that besides this, you are offended by the very notion of a band putting out a call to fans for preorders. It's idiotic. I'm dissecting every sentence you say because you keep muddying your argument with dumb shit like "Here's a link of someone asking for more money than they'll get!So there!". I think you're hilarious, dude. I don't really remember you. But I'm already positive you're one of the reasons I barely post here.
yeah, b/c i was always arguing against that mainly, not the pre order thing. i was trying to get you to see this is more of the problem i have with kickstarter, not the fucking pre order thing. i think you need some reading comprehension skills. hey , if you want to not post here, be my guest. read the actual links, they are getting the money most of the time. or you can keep enjoying the sound of your own voice, which i have the feeling is your M.O.
