I think the biggest problem is that someone pledged $6.66.

It's better than that.

The youtube view counter always stops around 300 for a new video that's getting a lot of views. There's some kind of process where they make sure people are actually watching the video and it's not just a bunch of bots.

Regardless 4:40 minutes in, I started cringing because of how stupid it was.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Yea, after 301 views, they start to take the View Count, for the lack of a better word, more seriously. So they start to verify/authenticate views from across all the local servers which the video is streamed and update the view count like once a day or so.

I always thought Views were a live count, until the 301 thing started to happen.

Something that I've notice with crowd sourcing in general, is that religiously center projects just do very poorly.

So it should be a matter time before there a fundy version of crowd source sites for religious projects. Something lie godtube.com.

*tube.com sites have an association religious organizations might want to avoid.

So here we have a successful kickstarter for some sort of board/card game that looks decent. However the creator now thinks the sun is talking to her. That is certainly an interesting development. I've seen what apparently is her deviant art and there is more craziness, but I'm not going to encourage looking at everything about them like we sort of did with Your World because this looks like insanity rather than mere delusions.

That's either genuine schizoid of some kind or a really, really good creative writing exercise.

I suppose we might get to witness one of the early 'refunds' for crowd sourcing.
