FUND MY LIFE ALPACA FARM - Another 8HITTY Kickstarter - WORST KICKSTARTER EVER?

Alpaca Fibre Farm – Phase 1

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own alpaca farm? Well one project creator merely needs $250,000 to make her dreams come true and if you’re asking how you can help go ahead and send your crowdfunding donations to this fine Kickstarter . But please be aware this is only “phase 1”, so you may need to come out of pocket a bit more for potential further phases. What are the rewards you may ask, thank you for asking! Do you get to visit the alpaca farm? Not exactly, the minimum donation is $500.00 and for that chunk of change you’re entitled to a nice fuzzy pair of alpaca socks.Want to donate $1000.00? You’re out of luck, this Kickstarter is for the big boys, that’s right you’re gonna need to come up with $2,000 if you want to benefit from that fine reward of 2 insoles and 2 pairs of alpaca socks.

Possibly the worst Kickstarter to have ever been published, this “fund my life” project is mostly burdened by the project creators lack of imagination. I would personally prefer my own tropical island and would handsomely reward my backers with as much sand as they could carry.

Kickstarter: Ideal Crowdfunding Platform or Easy Money for Scammers?

Ever since Double Fine Productions' astounding success with Broken Age (formerly known as Double Fine Adventure) a year ago, Kickstarter has become somewhat of a posterchild for crowdfuning on the Internet. And while the idea of an 'Online Darwinism' platform where only the strongest and most innovative ideas get to see the light of day via a direct financial support from the consumers does sound enticing on paper, the actual execution of it leaves much to be desired.

We've all heard countless success stories from aspiring filmmakers, game developers and musicians who got to make their dream projects a reality. But what about the myriad of terrible projects that still make at least three times their desired goal thanks to the naïveté of the Kickstarter userbase? What about all the outrageous scams that were seconds away from pilfering the dishonestly received money and vanishing into thin air? And let's not forget about all the cases of unceremonious e-begging by Hollywood celebrities who should already have sufficient funds and/or connections to launch their projects without the need of Kickstarter but still decided to exploit it.
