With the growth of Kickstarter and YouTube content, there has been an increasing trend towards paid content. I reached out to gamers, reviewers, and KS Creators for their perspectives. I boil it all together and provide my thoughts in this video.

Join discussionI personally avoid some KS when I see certain reviewers. Those are the folks how make money and give you “an honest opinion but:
a)This “honest opinion” is always positive. I am sorry not every game is REALLY GREAT. You cannot like every game all the time.
b) They don’t really disclose that they were paid
I don’t mind if someone is making money if I feel like what I hear is the truth, and not a BS
Thanks for the feedback!
martin from board game exposure is so great! He even did a review for our game Carthage by just playing it over skype and tabletopia with me!
Yeah – great guy!
Really interesting video, Eduardo.
Thanks, Scott!
