From the article "Kickstarter is virtually genericized at this point"
> IndieGoGo are a bunch of scammer-enablers.
Agree, IndieGoGo has developed the opposite reputation. I would say that IGG is "genericized" in it's own way. As a backer, IGG just feels sleazier. No one has mentioned their Flexible Funding[0] which is a core tool for scammers and something IGG uses as a strong selling point.
IGG could fix this but they make money on Flexible Funding. As they state in the link below: "With flexible funding, you keep all funds, even if you do not meet your goal!" (note the exclamation point at the end). Scammer-enablers might be too kind of a word. Collusion might be accurate.
