So I'm supposed to give money so two managers can buy out the shareholder of a company, with no expectation of returns. I'm sorry, is Hackaday a charity? Am I getting a return on my investment here? Am I getting any of that $14k a month? Let me get this straight, I'm giving money to two guys to do a buyout of a site that makes $14k a month, and I don't get a piece of the cash flow?

This is all so preposterous, I don't know how Kickstarter is even allowing this to happen on their site. Calacanis is one hell of a scammer.

I guess you consider content doesn't have value then? This is the return. If it's not enough for you, nobody force you to give. This is the beauty of crowd funding.
