Even _if_ in the future it becomes harder for projects to prove themselves. Who cares? That's part of the evolution that crowd funding might have to go through.
Even if only a small percentage of kickstarts actually get mass market appeal (say 0.01%) enough to sell normal product numbers. Who care? IMO the fact that kickstart allows for obviously niche products to get created and given to the backers makes Kickstarter meaningful and 100% useful all on its own.
Even if many of the kickstarts actually fail. Who cares? That's part of how the economy works in the first place. In IT something like over half of all projects fail. I believe that is the same with Kickstarts. So nothing inherently wrong there.
