They're not donating, so much as they're buying and funding the manufacturing. Well, that was how things started at Kickstarter. Now it's become a marketplace for lots of Chinese made crap. You can still find some innovative things, but you really have to go looking. I've gotten a few camera type products that I don't think anyone else was making at the time, so I couldn't have gotten them some place else.

And there's no hate here, at least not from me. Big props to anyone able to sell a product for $45 that RETAILS elsewhere for $3.
