Your assessment of how Kickstarter works is completely inaccurate.

Technically when you start a kickstarter, it clearly says that people will give you money to help you make that product youre making, in return you must follow through with their rewards along with making the actual product.

Right, BUT... the commenting system at Gawker has just sent your comment into the database, and in the future, it will know that you want giant buildings and flying cars, that will be passed on to the firms buying this information and in over two weeks you will see that all the sites you visit are cramped with The…

That is not the contraction "won't" with an apostrophe missing, it is the word "wont", I hope that ameliorates your confusion.
