People expect immediate gratification. They pay for it and expect it two days later. We become upset because it falls out of the patterns we have adapted to.

People don't expect to be ripped off.

I've been watching one project since 2013. $500k raised, and they seem to have blown it on initial set-up and tooling.

The items are being sold through an "exclusive" deal with a famous online outlet, and most backers still haven't received anything.

I think that counts as outright fraud, and not just "becoming upset".

Some backers have been talking to the FTC, so we'll see what happens then.
