As someone who built an entire website to track crowdfunding scams (Kickscammed.com) this is an amazing move towards transparency. I only wish they would make it a requirement that all creators do this.

@itsthisjustin Thanks Justin. It may eventually end up being a set part of every campaign, but we want to see how people organically gauge with it first. My hunch is that this will be like project videos — though not required almost everyone does them.

@itsthisjustin Agreed. Incentivizing live video as a requirement would only help creators, as the increased transparency will almost certainly lead to an increased emotional connection (and, it follows, more backers at higher amounts).
