It's more like handing $5 to Starbucks and not getting a latte in return. I'm curious if anyone will do a social experiment and basically ask for donations for a new car, with the return being a photo of the person in the new car if they donate over $5 and the offer reaches its threshold.
I don't think you'd be able to do that on kickstarter, at least. Pretty sure Kickstarter has to approve projects before they are listed, and some like "buy me a car" wouldn't get approved.
