Everything I have to say is just my perception. Fits only for me, so have been hesitant to reply.
I don't want to give the impression I have had no help.
I've been given incredible breaks in my life. I have tried to keep that in front of me (I fail sometimes). Many of these breaks were from musical endeavors. I have tried to repay (I fail sometimes)
But Crowd-funding, to me, is stepping outside of the personal (or if personal, is for a personal tragic situations where there are no other options). So it should be used for the same. Outside the personal.
So, I don't see my ideas and aspirations, and I dream big, going the crowd-funding direction.
