Seconding this. After speaking with a few reps from other crowdfunding platforms, I found Kickstarter's new leadership under Everette a breath of fresh air.
We spoke briefly about my concerns with Blockchain, NFTs and AI over email.

I care about the health and vitality of the crowdfunding industry for the long term.
Some of the tactics being used by competitors right now is going to hurt the industry for a long time to come.
