Kickstarter tip
Jan. 29th, 2018 10:07 amI just got a "superbacker" badge there (nothing to be proud about, spent too much $ on mostly useless crap that seemed cool at the moment.)
Here is a tip: never use "remind me" button!
Rationale: 90% of the projects are late. 80% of those are late by 0.5-2 years. 100% of the projects that start shipping 1 year late, make shipping for another year, sorted by a backing number... So if you checked "remind me" button, and then backed after a reminder, you are guaranteed to pay at the very same time with folks who backed the project at the time you've hit that bloody button, but you'll get your reward up to 1 year later (if ever).
P.S. Waiting for my Spectrum next now, most likely it will be late by just 2-3 months.
