Is this real? I examined to their source code and found an exposed TypeScript RPC which indicates the following:

totalMembers: 4954

totalPledged: 5678872

averagePledge: 1146.320549

However the numbers on the website appear to be hardcoded in with very dramatically different numbers.



This is vibe coded as fuck and anyone can submit a pledge, so no



Yeah, I'm starting wonder if this is bs. They don't have a twitter account like the pledge form indicates. The youtuber that purportedly started the campaign only has like 36k subscribers, so it's not clear where such a high level of pledges would be coming from and the rpc endpoint response vs page count is pretty suspicious.
