>goal to $20,000. I could put $2000 in myself

so, you are planning to start with a fraud and go from there? :/

How is that fraud? Paying yourself is totally valid. I’m actually skeptical of projects where a person doesn’t pay themself. It makes me wonder if they truly understand what it’s going to take. As long as the donors know that, what’s the issue?

>That's 25% funded

Means he will stuff his own KS to pretend demand. This is a fraud and against Tos.

Ah sorry I totally misread the initial comment. I thought the critique was paying yourself.

As for stuffing your own KS...yeah, it’s not allowed. Everyone does it as an “anonymous donation” of course, it’s very common. But yeah, he’s not supposed to.
