I like undying gratitude! (LOL) Or getting to see stuff early, or "here's a peek at a sketch" or a draft or whatever. But it's like people see "reward" and go "Wait this has to be EXTRA good," which makes it more like Kickstarter with the various levels.

Kickstarter has become nothing more than a high-pressure, overpriced preorder system that preys on inexperienced businesspeople while pretending it's something else

ITA. And it's also become very clickbait and viral driven, so a few projects get a lot of publicity but most people don't get a lot of attention. Kickstarter seems to really contribute to artist burnout in my experience, which is awful.
