I don't have an objection to kickstarter/gofundme operations as an idea. We have chosen not to do them up to now. Some friends of mine have done so with their projects, and I don't mind being asked. I do object to getting buttonholed by people I don't know. I got a friend request on FB a couple years ago and just a minute or two after accepting, I got a message thanking me and then giving me a link to their kickstarter campaign. I had no idea what their music sounded like, but that sort of action killed any interest I might have had. Needless to say, I did not kick in any bucks. Some of the deals almost strike me like someone at a business conference with a mattress in their display booth offering curb service. I repeat I have no problems with people I already know asking me for help. I generally not in a good position to offer much in the financial realm.
