That's not really a kickstarter so much as a gofundme for a business. $50 for a stress ball? $1000 for a ride in NYC? Kickstarter rewards ought to be close to the value that you're giving, because it's analogous to an investment. Kickstarter is not a charity fundraiser.
Why not give credits as a reward? You're raising capital for a business, so theoretically you should be profitable enough to pay back investors. And if not, there are no rides because there are no drivers.
Honestly today, this was competitive pricing against Lyft...
Isn't new York flooded right now?
Not any more, but yeah, most of the trains were suspended. I paid about $80 to get home to Brooklyn.
I saw a video that was showing that it was flooded… in spots… despite media coverage that gave the impression the whole island was underwater. And that mostly cleared up last night it seems.
Might be why it's hard to get a ride
Need an amphibious vehicle to get there
