You just can’t make something like this happen in < 1 week using the “proper”/traditional methods.

Put differently: those “proper” tools have existed for decades. If they were as easy to use as you claim then why haven’t we seen them used to achieve something comparable to this project yet? (or have we?)

Sure you can. It's just a lot of work, which also makes sure nobody gets scammed.

This is a kickstarter (or scam) which will fail in one way or another. There is no achievement here.

The only kickstarters I’ve seen that are to fund just a single thing (instead of individuals each getting a product) are for funding R&D or medical bills. I haven’t seen any of those reach $30M, nor have I seen any kickstarters that intend to have open governance. And I’m doubtful many kickstarters have been quite as social as today’s DAOs either.

It might fail. That’s fine (though I’d prefer it pass). The novelty and enjoyment of it has already been worth the $.
