FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened Documentary
Just finished watching this on Netflix. It is fascinating, yet I feel dirty watching how Billy MacFarland ****ed over so many people.
If you enjoy documentaries, watch it now. |
"And I went down there fully prepared to suck his dick."
:eek: |
LOL I keep trying to figure out if I want to watch this. I guess I will now. I started the Ted Bundy Tapes. I'll grab a look when I finish this.

The Fyre documentary is just candy in comparison. Sad though that the guy duped so many people on the island who really suffered as a result. |
How the hell did Billy Mcfarlane convince all those investors to put millions of dollars into that festival? He was 24 year old kid. It looked like a good time when they flew the models in for the promotional shoot.
|
At the beginning I couldn’t help but admire Billy’s skill and ability to sell a dream. By the end I wanted to personally take a bat to his face.
The strangely satisfying part of the story is that he scammed the vain, spoiled, wannabe brats. They got a small taste of the real world for once. The downside is that hard-working people got ****ed in the process. |

This was an eye opener for me as my social media usage is limited to my personal interests/hobbies, which is very narrow. The whole "influencers" receiving benefits to make social media posts blew me away and I found the question of culpability when a person uses a hashtag to promote something very interesting.

I was amazed that people just threw their money at him.

That said, both this an American Meme make a pretty compelling argument for the systematic liquidation of all social media influencers. |
If you like this - American Greed is a great series.

At the very least take a flight down themselves and look at what was going on? Emotion completely took over everyone’s judgment. That’s a bad mix when it comes to money. |
