Considering the increased scrutiny behind authenticity of crowdfunding (e.g. Anonbox), and given the anonymity of the campaign owner, this seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Agree completely. This sounds like an amazing idea but trust is the #1 problem with crowdfunding. If Kickstarter has a massive problem with trust, how is this going to work with a site that doesn't require emails to sign up and that vehemently defends the right to anonymity of highly suspect users. And I say all this as someone who loves Reddit and is super active on the site.
Okay, what about copyrights? I have already seen logos used on TV shows being put on a shirt where the profits all go to the owner of the campaign. Somehow I doubt the network that own the show or the shows creators themselves would not have a problem with some fan starting campaigns like this for their own personal gain.
I meant that Reddit handles the manufacturing, so there's less risk than with Kickstarter, where the creator also does manufacturing. It's like more like Teespring or Quirky than like Kickstarter or IndieGoGo

We'll connect you with sourcing partners, work with you to finalize designs, and help you step through all the other creative, legal, logistical, promotional, and financial hoops to make your campaign happen, but we can only help you as much as you'll let us.
It sounds less nuts than imagining the guy with a cool t-shirt design to know anything about running a mail-order distribution business (i.e. Kickstarter).
