I really liked this TNR piece by Noreen Malone on Kickstarter-- I've been waiting for a piece just like it-- but this made me chuckle.

Yeah, maybe. But it's not really *that* objectionable beyond being obnoxious and biased towards a specific type of company. Adapting to funding models-like flashy videos and stuff here-is something startups have always had to do. And some cool stuff does get funded.
Notwithstanding the laugh about the placement of the online panhandling sentence next to the New Republic request for money, I think Freddie earnestly liked the article (which is that to which Anonymous is responding with his/her defense of Kickstarter).

@Anonymous
I think you missed the joke.
It took me a re-read to get it, too.

Which is just to say that it's unclear whether Anonymous missed the joke or merely chose not to reference it with(in) his comments
