In a way, it's a fair free market transaction. People mostly donate to this shit for virtue signalling and the dopamine rush of "feeling like I'm doing good", not really for the physical product, nor for any actual good that could come from it. The kickstarter provided these things, and the people got what they paid for. The physical product is more of a technicality. It's a necessary part of the illusion, because without the myth of the "good cause" there's no virtue points or dopamine to be gained. Whether the "good cause" is real or myth is irrelevant to these people, because they got the fix they paid for when the transaction went through.
