Exaggeration is a very different thing from pretending you designed an off-the-shelf product.

Exaggeration is normal. Nobody expects an entrepreneur to be objective and unbiased.

It's Kickstarter. They don't even need to pretend to be finished.

But if they are only providing software glue, why pretend at custom hardware?

It makes them look like less of a middleman, which is a confidence trick, and leaves a bad taste in people's mouths, much more than exaggeration does.

So reddit employees having multiple accounts? Closer to exaggeration, and something that had a legitimate purpose to it: helping conversations happen. This has only illegitimate purpose.
