"The worry is what happens when a hard-working project is unable to deliver, or when a con artist takes the money and runs."
Do you worry about that?
You should not get out of your house then. Meteorites keep bombarding the earth(they are falling right now!!). A king cobra could scape the zoo and reproduce(they store sperm) in the woods, don't go there.
It is really difficult that someone could not deliver something. If so hardworking then something is better than nothing. A con artist is not going to give their face in a video for all Internet to know, a con artist have not a proven record.
People forget what the millions of people that could see something means.

Don't be a dick. Online fraud is a real risk, it happens to people every day. Most people know not to send money to some random stranger who emails you, only to buy from reputable sites, or at a minimum to make sure you can claim back your money from your credit card provider if you get scammed. Which scenario is kickstarter more like?

It's pretty easy to fail to deliver, even if they've tried; there was a story here not so long ago about a kickstarter made an iphone case that turned out to block the signal.
>A con artist is not going to give their face in a video for all Internet to know
Why not? Plenty of 419 scammers do.
>a con artist have not a proven record
Nor do many legitimate kickstarters. It's not like ebay where they post the feedback score right at the top and anyone without a high rating is suspicious.
