But that's just it, he has been a YouTuber for years and has held a presence. He's built a name and a brand for himself. I don't see why I shouldn't trust him any less than say Super 7. Hell, people went ahead and supported that Valeverse dude without hesistation.

Sometimes you just have to realize that if you want to see something you'd like to see done, you have to do it yourself. That's what got me started on YouTube. No one was doing Godzilla reviews in a style I wanted to see and that was that.

By contrast, look at David Silva's first Kickstarter with the Raptor Series (still can't post links), click the risks link and he mentions all of the connections he has from previous work, that he has personally produced and sold products before, etc.

You have to start somewhere though. Like I have no idea who this David Silva is. What did he do beforehand?

I really just think it's irresponsible to be asking people for money with the project at it current state, especially when his target audience is (whether or not he wants it to be), fairly young.

It's not like he is forcing people to support him. That's like when someone got mad at me for talking about my Patreon. He acted like I was putting a gun to my audiences' head to support me.

Maybe he first needs to see if there is enough interested to warrant paying for physical prototypes.
