3D Printing & Crowdfunding: Is It a Good Idea?

I didn't think I was going to make this video, but after seeing things in the last few days on social media (after another company announced a crowdfunding campaign for a new product and seeing the reaction) and in seeing a trending pattern in the last few years with this direction, I figured it was time to talk about this topic in detail.
This video is aimed to be a discussion on 3D Printing companies using crowdfunding campaigns to promote their new products, especially with companies with already large reputations using this platform and what I feel as a consumer in the 3D Printing market because of it.
This video is strictly MY OPINIONS on the topic and is no way intended to be addressed as hatred/slandering towards a particular product, person or company. I understand everyone will have different opinions on this topic and that's ok. By sharing this video, my goal is to open the dialogue between consumer and company to create a better space for this type of platform and not turn it into an abusive front.

What other steps can be taken to make these platforms a more positive space for everyone in this community?

[@Tom-tv1vu]

NOT FOR THE VIDEO. i have a question. is that my the thing the pull the filament is making a lot of noise that is not usual since it was quite. and with I checked on it the indent where really big instead of the simple small indent pattern. (sorry if my grammar is bad) edit: the noise makes this clicking sound every few seconds and when i print something it would not stick or it would print put with holes in the print.

[@B1GJano]

it sounds like that could be an extruder gear issue. I would play with the tensioner knob and see if adjusting it helps. If that doesn't help, you could have a potential clog in the hotend and may have to clear it
