Also note the Droste effect of Blackhat's video: in the video he's holding a copy of the current webpage. [[Special:Contributions/75.103.23.206|75.103.23.206]] 21:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

It's also worth noting that the kickstarter shown in the video has 2 days remaining and has raised a four digit figure of a 7 digit total (otherwise being a complete failure).[[Special:Contributions/86.141.223.90|86.141.223.90]] 22:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 
 
It seems to me that in the video he has 2 days remaining, somewhere around 53,090 backers and has raised more than $8,000,000, out of an unreadable goal. [[Special:Contributions/79.82.208.103|79.82.208.103]] 12:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 
 
Could this be a scam? I don't know that much about kickstarter, but I know Blackhat, and scamming people seems like a common activity for him. {{unsigned ip |108.162.212.184}}
 
 
I changed the second paragraph of the explanation pretty radically. It's not an ideal explanation right now, because some facts are vague and unsatisfying, but it's better than it was, which was blatantly false. I'm assuming that since Randall made the joke he did make in the title text, at the time of this comic's publication, Kickstarter didn't have any limits on pledge tiers. It does now, which makes the title text make no sense. If someone could verify all this and correct accordingly, that'd be great, because I don't know how to go about it.[[Special:Contributions/172.68.174.70|172.68.174.70]] 04:35, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
