SOMEONE NEEDS TO EXPOSE ZANE (CDINZANE)

[Jasonic]

so it's about the after product then only???

I mean there are many online retailers that offer "clubs" for their customers where you pay an annual fee to get a permanent discount.

You all say "it's the fans choice to crowd fund a band"

Just saying that maybe there are customers who are big enough of a fan of CDInzane who would financially support
(Even tho the product offered is unique)

Anyhow. You know my opinion on crowd funding to begin with.

I am just saying that it's subjective as to what project can justify crowd funding.

I agree. Great Marketing can make a crappy kickstarter take off. IMO, Exploding Kitten's marketing made that game take off, by hooking in the guy who draws the Oatmeal for that they made a ton of bank. With him they might have made their limit barely, instead of blowing it away.

He was part of the original idea, it's not like they reached out to him to have him draw the cards. He was involved from almost the start.

Apparently there are not. That's not even a hypothetical, he tried it and it didn't work.

For the record, I agree w/ you on crowdfunding for the most part. The only time I've ever done it was for a festival 700mi away that promised me a recording of the Ashbury and Oz sets that I never received *cough*

Ironically that was the ONLY time i ever did crowd funding.

I can say quite objectively that if I had the money I might well fund a band or a festival that I really wanted to see happen. PPUSA sponsorships spring to mind here. But I don't think I would fund a deli opening, no matter how much I loved sandwiches. Seems like there's a difference on an intuitive level to me. But I haven't really thought it through.

What about a prog metal deli festival?

A band is a business just like a retailer.

That's all I really wanna say.

Not an apples to apples comparison. While crowd funding is legally donating, artists generally offer up incentives for crowd funding. If I give a band $20 to fund the album, I would (generally) get the album for doing so.

On the other hand, relying on your customer base to fund the start of a retailer is fucking pants on head ridiculous and this dude is mentally imbalanced for even thinking that he's doing something even remotely normal. There is no incentive to do so.
