A Kickstarter To Buy Kickstarter
- dotcoma 15y agois this a (bad) joke?
- milkshakes 15y agohe is a comedian, after all
- cgag 15y agoI think it's a good joke.
- 178 15y agoNo, it's art.
- smrq 15y agoThis would be funnier if it didn't violate Kickstarter's project guidelines.
- ceejayoz 15y ago> PREVIEW: This project page is not live.
- bicknergseng 15y agoHe's going to need more than $19 million. Besides Kickstarter probably being worth more than that, he loses 5% to Kickstarter and another 5% to Amazon billing. So the jokes on him!
- mikenon 15y agoHe'd laugh all the way to being millions of dollars richer. Kickstarter has no provisions for refunds when a funded project fails its goal.
- keane 15y agoThis is somewhat similar to Google Will Eat Itself, a project that has used Google Ad revenue to automatically purchase shares of Google. They currently own about $500k worth of Google and estimate owning the entire company in 200m years. See (photosensitive warning) http://gwei.org/ http://gwei.org/
- aaronpk 15y agoAlso similar to the trick of using a credit card to buy dollar coins from the mint racking up frequent flyer miles in the process. http://news.consumerreports.org/money/2011/07/travel-hackers-swapping-thousands-of-dollar-coins-for-frequent-flier-miles.html http://news.consumerreports.org/money/2011/07/travel-hackers...
- ChuckMcM 15y agoThat was a nice hack while it lasted.
- starfox 15y agoThis reminds me of my friend's plan to use the American Express "black" card with no credit limit to buy American Express.
