At this point kickstarter campaigns should be considered donations with a low value and low probability of winning lottery ticket included with each donation. The expectation that you get anything in return from backing a kickstarter needs to be reset.
It's just Sturgeon's law/the Pareto Principle. There are good crowdfunded products that succeed, don't focus on the 90% that are crap.

This is why Kickstarter repeats time and time again that it's not a marketplace. If you go into it thinking you're buying a product, you're gonna have a bad time. That's not at all what it is.
