What Reddit users said
It's genuinely hard to tell nowadays; without proof that they lied, accusations risk hurting creators who put in real work.
Original commentWithout obvious errors it's your word against theirs, and as neither creator nor backer you have no stake. You may be right but lack definitive proof.

Original commentEvery campaign page has a 'report to Kickstarter' button at the bottom.
Original commentPointed out that the 'reversed video' theory doesn't hold up logically.
