No, it's not.
It's a guy who realizes he has a voice and an audience of people who will finance the movie he wants to make without having to deal with investors who will get in the way of the movie. Spike's probably had to deal with enough shit from investors/studios over the year. I think it was great when Braff did it, and I think it's awesome Spike's doing it.
It's not "begging"...it's essentially having people pre-pay for a movie or get some cool perks.
