    don't respond to a post i put up with a review i wrote praising this dude to tell me he's an asshole. do you think you know something about him i don't? your seriously dim view is boring and banal and if you'd bother to read the review you'd see i address short sighted uninformed opinions like yours and call them out in conjunction with sighting Kozelek's own lyrics which are slamming idiotic posts like yours. get a clue.

     

     

    Oh please, nice try trying to slide your shitty pay-per-click amateur music review in the forums, but nobody bought it. http://soundblab.com/static/about-soundblab the site exists entirely as filler content to spam on social media

    That was IndieGoGo's key market differentiator at a time when only Kickstarter existed. On Kickstarter, if you raise $74,000 but your target is $75,000, your campaign fails and you get nothing despite the almost imperceptible real-world difference.

     

    I don't think you recognize the psychology behind Kickstarter and the thrill of that final push over the threshold. People start jacking their donation amounts up when they see that a campaign has generated interest and could actually succeed. That's the whole point of Kickstarter- you can have an insane idea, knowledge of how to accomplish it, and if enough people agree with it then it will actually happen.

     

    What you're supposed to be doing when you create a Kickstarter campaign is say "I need $X to make this happen. I guarantee it will happen if I get that money." There is no mystery there. If there isn't enough interest to reach that goal then nobody loses. Nobody loses money, and the creator doesn't waste their time on a project that doesn't have any appeal to anybody.

     

    In comparison, IndieGoGo is just a donation button. It's an "I want money" campaign. Using your scenario, what if you have a $75,000 goal and only get $10,000? People are still out that $10,000, but since the campaign creator wanted $75,000 we're either going to get a half ass product or no product at all. It's a waste of money.

    Totally went and bought the BitTorrent bundle of Hits after hearing this episode! Really enjoyed it! Not perfect, certainly not laugh out loud funny, but it was a good little story with just enough absurdity to keep scenes from getting darkly uncomfortable. I hope it's a successful way to release a movie and he gets to do more.

    I don't even use Rotten Tomatoes because I have to waste 5 seconds re-learning what every icon means every time I open it.

     

    Also, holy shit, I didn't realize the Holiday Bundle was a year old. I've been putting it off since they started talking about it this year but damn, now I realize I'm more of a slacker than I imagined.

    I'm not logged in right now and I can see all of the prices

     

    Maybe I'm totally wrong, and I'd be embarrassed to be so after wildly throwing out the term "huge oversight", but everything I click has me forced to fill out a form for a new account with a user/pass/email/full name/security question before I can see anything. Maybe there is a cookie that lets you see certain stuff if you have the login cookie but won't let you see anything secure or change anything (ala Amazon)- so if you get a chance try it out in an private/icognito window in your browser and see for yourself. It HTTP redirects from pardcast.com/premium.php to /accountsetup.php for me. I get that it's picky but at the same time I just want to see how much something costs before I essentially give someone the ability to hack into my online bank account by learning my first hermit crab's name.
