Kickstarter has 5 sections
- Softwares
- Techs
- Foods
- Music
- Hobbies
YET NONE OF THOSE HAS A POOR SECTION FOR POOR PEOPLE,
One of those enjoy hobbos and starts kicking hobbo music, the most i think of it, the most hobbos got it right, starting with John Lennon.

I would start a Idle game on kickstarter cause none of them are really good

Who do you think buys things on Kickstarter...
It's a bunch of people trying to get stuff cheap, when actually, it's a gamble.
STOP SHOPPING ON KICKSTARTER.
Kickstarter is a way for people to start a business but there a two very serious problems with this idea. The first is that people are morons and a slick video will convince people to part with their money over absolutely impossible ideas. The second is that the people running the kickstater usually have no business experience. Most Kickstarters fail because they lack a slick promotion, the rest fail because of unrealistic expectations, and this doesn't just apply to Kickstarter. Venture capitalists and successful business people have fallen into this trap too (looking at you Juicero!). Little tip, even businessmen need a bit of luck to really make it, no one has the perfect formula.
As someone who has done a "successful" Kickstarter I can tell you, 1/1000th of the ones who get funded will actually get anywhere, stop wasting your money. Kickstarter is not a budget shopping mall.
