I’ve backed 28 projects. I’ve starred 64 projects. of the 28 backed, 16 were first starred. so not a heavy KS participant at all.

of the projects I’ve backed, I really regret 3. with 1 yet to be determined as it’s not shipped yet. 2 of those were in my top 5 most expensive projects I backed, so there is a solid correlation between the $ I spend and my perceived value. I think in large part the 1 that I most regret was also my most expense and was a board game (my first that I backed), I’ve become totally gun shy on boardgames and that has saved me a ton.

in all, KS has increased my annual spend on the hobby, but has, I think in general been a net positive in the exposure to different products and, in general, being mostly satisfied with what I have received.
