I am going into programming, and my current mantra is "not web development". I want to be as far away from everything involved with websites as I can. All this crap with google, facebook, start ups worth billions, it's dangerous and not something I want to be anywhere near when it all deflates. Kickstarter and Patreon are big parts of it. What happens the moment people fall on hard times? They end their voluntary, month to month, payments, with absolutely no loss on their part. This kills the industry. Especially with so many companies on Kickstarter killing the trust of so many people.
