And the real answer is, I didn't make them. I asked them.
我真正的答案是，我并沒有逼迫他們，我所作的是請求他們。

And I got a lot of criticism online, after my Kickstarter went big, for continuing my crazy crowdsourcing practices,

人們說，“你現在已經沒有資格再這樣請求幫助了，”這讓我想起那些在車里對我大喊“找份工作去”的人們。
Because they weren't with us on the sidewalk,
他們沒有和我們一起站在人行道上，
and they couldn't see the exchange that was happening between me and my crowd, an exchange that was very fair to us but alien to them.

So this is slightly not safe for work.

Now let me tell you, if you want to experience the visceral feeling of trusting strangers...
我用親身經歷告訴你們，如果你想體會信任陌生人那種發自內心深處的感覺……
