Campaign Discussion · PledgeRadar Editorial ·
u/Longsheep, with 15 years on Kickstarter, vented about some Superbackers asking questions already answered on the page, requesting special treatment and cancelling pledges.
Others explained what the badge actually requires, and some defended backers.
What Reddit users said
Points out how easy the badge is to get: back 25 campaigns at $10 or more in a year.
Original commentThe badge means someone backs a lot, often at the lowest tier. You hear more from them because they're more engaged, not because they're worse than average.
Original commentHad three Superbackers back one project and two cancel, and thinks some are addicted to backing rather than wanting the product.
Original commentCompares some requests to ordering at a drive-thru and asking for steak at burger prices.
Original commentHad the opposite experience: the Superbackers on their projects were helpful and taught them things.
Original commentPushed back from the backer side: creators can behave badly too, and updates should report on the project, not on promotional activity or travel.
Original commentSource: (15 years on KS) "Superbackers" are the rudest and thickest people I have ever met, anywhere. (r/kickstarter)
