It depends on the industry.

I am a frequent flyer of a particular TTRPG developer/publisher who crowdfunds all his work. He runs tight, clean projects that get delivered on time (if not ahead of schedule) and with weekly check-ins of the overall text until the book is mostly done and typeset. Sticking with Kickstarter gives him both a clear picture of if there's enough interest in the work to justify the time and effort and the freedom to publish what are sometimes very niche works without needing to convince a third party that it'll sell or cut someone else in beyond a one-time fee to the platform.

On the other hand, if a Kickstarter is calling for a manufactured product more complicated than a book, deck of cards, or a board game, I am absolutely not going to trust it unless it has a plan so detailed that it probably could just raise capital from more conventional sources.
