This is a cynical take.

Sounds more like the community of people in this interest group/hobby had an interest and she was just stewarding their desires. And her and the communities values ended up aligning. Like a contractor/contractee relationship

This really wasn’t the gotcha you thought it was.

My first sentence was legitimate, she’s convinced people to invest in her idea - as you say - and I’m impressed. Perhaps we disagree on where the investment has gone, but hey ho. If you think the site as it stands represents €10k of value then we disagree on that too.

The second sentence was somewhat tongue in cheek (and I’m not a fan of KS in general, been bitten too many times). Well done on jumping straight to name calling/insults though, great way to hold yourself during public discourse.
