If you throw enough spaghetti against the wall, some of it will stick. That doesn't mean you get to eat the spaghetti, nor does it mean the spaghetti on the floor has no cost.

wtf am I reading?

I did not get the analogy. If only some spaghetti sticks to the wall, it means you have a messy wall, less spaghetti left to eat, and spaghetti that isn't all cooked yet. Sorry, but I do not get what you're trying to say.

Sorry, should have been a bit more clear. Some of the spaghetti being thrown against the wall (companies taking crowdsourced money) will stick (be successful), but the people who threw it (people putting in crowdsourced money) won't necessarily benefit the most, and there could also be damage from the spaghetti on the floor (failed companies). I'll work on my analogies.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.
