    I loved this video. What a great concept, and it does take courage to do this and she's worked up to it and it seems to be part of who she is as an artist. I think this would work for someone, but not as a blanket strategy necessarily. It kinda reminds me of Humble Bundles.

    I think that I didn't want to watch a video that is 13 minutes and 47 seconds long.

    But...I watched it, anyway.

    I think that it's worth watching. I think that she should ignore people who feel that she shouldn't crowdfund, simply because she has been successful at doing it, previously, or because she's become a celebrity, which to many translates into being a de facto success.

    I think that she comprehends the concept of personal connection, and that she's mastered the art of connecting with people on an individual, meaningful level.

    Clearly, she has grasped a basic fundamental lesson of life - that what you are doing, at any given moment, is learning and preparation for something else, later in life, whether for yourself or for someone else.

    Plus, she likes people. More importantly, she likes individual human beings. I think that she's learned to live, rather than to merely exist.

    That's what I think, Salvador Briggman.

    This is an age old truth. You want to convince someone they need what you have versus telling them to buy what you have. The old, I bet I have something you need, telling someone to write on a piece of paper. They say they don't have a pen, you offer one.
