Ever wondered how the crowdfunding giants stack up against each other? In episode 236 of the Crowdfunding Nerds podcast, Andrew and Sean dive into the competitive dynamics of Kickstarter, GameFound, and BackerKit. How is Kickstarter's community engagement evolving under Asher McClanahan's leadership? And what does BackerKit's million-dollar equity crowdfunding move mean for the industry?

We also explore the intriguing world of organic search traffic with Ahrefs, comparing Kickstarter’s vast reach with GameFound’s niche focus. Could Kickstarter's traffic surge from India be a sign of bot activity? We unravel this mystery and emphasize why creators must build their own audiences.

Plus, we tackle the controversial use of AI-generated art in Kickstarter projects. Is it a shortcut to success or a credibility killer? Join us as we connect these insights to the philosophical themes of AI from Metal Gear Solid 2. Tune in for a deep dive into the strategic choices that could make or break your crowdfunding campaign!
