For every Kickstarter success story, there's at least a handful (if not more) of [[FAIL\|prolific failures]]. Not in the "nowhere near its stretch goal" sense of the word, that's just unfortunate if anything.

	No, when most people think of Kickstarter failures, they thing of the big projects that gave its backers an expensive ride upon the hype train, as they usually meet their goal a few times over - and before long, mismanagement, delays, and excuses set in for one reason or another. Insights into the project management's ethics (or lack thereof), a changing of hands, the fact most self-publishers don't have the connections to get the best of materials for their products, and other various factors combine to kill the previously built hype, and the end result is at least one of the following: A) the product never gets released and [[RAGE\|the backers start demanding refunds]], or B) the product makes it out against all odds, but it ultimately becomes a shadow of its former self and a testament to its wasted potential... [[RAGE\|and the backers start demanding refunds]].

	A competitor, '''Indiegogo''', has roughly the same business model. For a long time, it was never nearly as popular as Kickstarter, but rapidly gained more marketshare due to its lower fees and Kickstarter's mismanagement; Not long after restructuring into a "public-benefit corporation", Kickstarter started hiring political commissars to block projects that would make the company money, and pick poorly-selling fringe political propaganda (Dubbed "lesbian bike-riding anthologies" by one critic after an actual example) to highlight on the main page over paying projects. Even before then, Kickstarter projects had developed a reputation for failing to deliver on promises, as outlined below.		A competitor, '''Indiegogo''', has roughly the same business model.
