A small Rant!


Something really bothered me for a while now. I know me and most of the projects that are made on crowdfunding sites aren't worth much to other people except for the creators themselves. But harassing the developers / inventors / artists with your "services" which offer a tweet to 1000 followers sometime in the morning or one share on Facebook to a few followers without any effort and asking money for it is just too much for my brain to handle. People who are on crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo etc. are not there because they got money to spend on advertising, they are there because they need a fund injection to at least try to finish or start the dream they got. They put effort into the background of their project, and into the presentation. They poured their heart out in trying to show people that it is something worth, worth a place in the world, mostly for other people to enjoy. Then they come in, like sharks who saw blood underwater, let's leech off a poor dev who really really want's to fund his idea, or to fund manpower to finish up on an idea that has been in development for some time, they promise full funding in almost a few days just because they are that good, I have seen agents contact joke crowdfunding projects such as "I want to make game, need million dolla, fund fund" They always copy-paste the same over and over "Great idea! Let us help you be successful!" I do not respect that kind of business practice. Yes, I have not used any of the numerous services that has been offered to me, some may say that I do not have the right to rant then, but I know people who did, and nothing came out of it, never really. This is why I mocked up this, and I will be sending it to any and all who try to offer their "shit" services. To be honest I do check out offers, and some are actual people like on Fiverr who just ask a few bucks for their knowledge, but they do not make false promises, they just say that they know some tricks and are willing to share for a fee, they make it clear that it will not be enough to get maximum funding, but will help in the long run. So those people are free of my anger!

This is what others will get tho! Maybe ill be able to make a living like them as well?
