Right, and that's the other thing people can take offense to. Many early "big" crowdfunding project had a feeling of "you're making it possible at all", that makes people think they can have an impact. "I heard there's free money to be had"... not so much.

What do you want crowdfunding to be? A "farm system" for talent that will move on to be financed by Big Content, or Big Content's inevitable replacement? Because the way you're framing it, you can't have it both ways.

I don't want anything, I don't care, I'm just trying to explain the issue people took with it.
