I know you lurk here too and don't post unless its for self promotion. Community is the first part of a brick and mortar record store buddy, and you don't foster that at all. LOL.
So your issue is that they're doing a crowdfunding with reward levels for backers? I mean, in any campaign-drive (e.g. NPR) the reward never has a value equal to the amount given. I don't care about this person and don't follow their YT channel but your issue is a bit off base. You say you didn't want to stir up drama but that seems exactly what the purpose of your update is...
True although comparing one thing between two things isn't comparing all things. You did say your piece...it just comes off as petty. Let dude live his best life. Looking at his crowdfunding, it looks pretty reasonable. Nothing I'd contribute to but not laughable
