In some campaigns, the core goal sought is a publicly accessible work—for example, a live TV broadcast event, or a new public park—and in these cases, Fans are pledging toward realizing that future in and of itself.
Creators may still find inventive ways to offer rewards—commemorative prints, t-shirts etc.—but this is at the Creator’s discretion.
Fans should consider these campaigns a sort of public philanthropy, born of a collective passion, as Fans come together to commission a brighter future that is offered freely to all.
