The Hypocrisy of Crowdfunding:

Why Tragedy Sells, But Solutions Get Banned

Helplessness is Marketable. Empowerment is Not.

Crowdfunding platforms love victims.

• Medical emergencies? Funded.

• Families facing eviction? Funded.

• Viral sob stories with no long-term solution? Funded.

But the moment someone builds a tool that actually solves systemic problems—like giving gig workers a way to escape surveillance or earn untraceable income—suddenly, platforms get nervous.

My Rejected Project: Verified Alert

I built a system that:
✅ Lets drivers report police locations anonymously (no tracking, no data leaks)
✅ Pays contributors in Monero (no banks, no surveillance)
✅ Provides accurate, privacy-first alerts (unlike Waze, which sells your location data)

Yet, a so-called "privacy-focused" crowdfunding site rejected it—claiming it was "not proven enough."

Meanwhile:

• Professional beggars with no real solution get endless handouts

• Surveillance apps like Waze keep operating unchecked—whose data center is in Israel, you know, the country that:

  • Trains US law enforcement

  • Has backdoors into all US communications

  • Mocks the US president by giving him a pager

• Palantir's predictive AI fused with drones scares me. (I'm just trying to save lives here.)

Why Crowdfunding Platforms Fear Real Solutions

Helplessness is Profitable

A campaign for a single mother's rent is safe—it doesn't challenge the system.
A campaign for a cold-blooded killer who murders a White teen enables the system.
A tool that helps workers escape surveillance capitalism? That's dangerous.

Privacy Scares the Wrong People

Companies like Waze, Apple, and Google profit from tracking you.
My system is just a method that enhances an already existing open-source project, and it doesn't track anyone—meaning no data to sell to cops, insurers, or advertisers. It's safe!

They Prefer Dependence Over Independence

Silicon Valley wants gig workers begging for tips, not earning untraceable income.
Real economic freedom disrupts their control.

Breaking Down Their Bad-Faith Rejection

When questioned, their excuses were vague and hypocritical:

1. "Haven't Answered Questions / Clarified Concerns"
   If they didn't engage with my actual arguments (e.g., why Monero is essential for privacy), they're either lazy or deliberately avoiding accountability.
   Red flag: Legitimate projects address concerns transparently.

2. "No Proof of Work"
   They demanded code repositories and "technical depth" for a procedural protocol—like asking Tor to expose its routing tables.
   Sygic's open-source alerts already exist. My system improves accuracy through verified reporting—not app development.
   Waze gets funded while selling your data. My solution protects users and they call it "impossible"?
   Monero's ethos is privacy-first—forcing doxxing contradicts its purpose.

3. "Haven't Demonstrated Outreach for Support"
   Ironic, since they failed to communicate properly. A serious team would ask for clarifications, not shut me down.

4. "Called me Arrogant" + "childishly saying Request Denied as if I need them, lol"
   Projection. Their tone screams unprofessionalism. A good-faith rejection would explain concrete reasons, not throw insults.

What This Reveals About This So-Called Privacy Crowdfunding Platform

It's probably a honeypot. Don't shoot the messenger.

So What Now? Build Without Them

If crowdfunding gatekeepers reject real innovation, bypass them.

• Keep using decentralized funding (Monero, peer-to-peer support)

• Grow organically (create your own privacy tools spread through trust, not FUD)

Always watch. Think critically about what people who talk about privacy say and do.

Final Thought: I Dodged a Bullet

Their rejection proves one of two things:

• They don't understand privacy (and shouldn't be trusted)

• They're gatekeepers (pretending to support innovation while protecting the status quo)

Either way, I'll keep building. The system fears tools like mine—because they actually work.
