I work in the startup sector, and sadly, too many tech startup companies do this too. They're more concerned about making their website & apps look sexy, hiring 'influencers', promotion, slick videos, SEO optimization, than actually building a useful product.
This is a great example of how social media influencers can manipulate things at a massive scale. They get paid and talk about anything that they don't even understand.

That's the thing. If it was properly funded, executed, and managed, it would have been a great event. They didn't have the time, money, or expertise to pull it off. Where they wrong was going through with it as it became obvious that it would be a disaster.
Organizing something like a "Fyre" festival is a major, major organizational effort. There are multiple layers to this: transportation, food, lodging, medical, security, etc etc. You would need a program manager for each one of those, and then under each program manager they would have their own budget, personnel, and task management activity priorities. Then you would need a master scheduler overseeing all of these activities. If you wanted to do a Fyre festival right, you'd have to set your scope and expectations first. Then bring in a team who has managed these logistical challenges. What comes to mind are Olympics or Superbowl organizers. Its just insane that Billy McFarland thought he could just wing this.
and also the head contractor tht hired people to work...I think tht he is being hunted bcoz the workers tht are under him didn't get paid...poor guy, he himself didn't get paid....
Don't worry. Billy will make them all whole again. He's pulling down almost twenty cents an hour in a federal joint. At that rate, he'll have them all paid off.......in the year 2319.
Garden. whats really funny is that they are already blaming this fyre festival fiasco on russia hackers & putin!!! somebody needs to get a production company and cameras to the island asap, cause this is the next big reality show "festivals gone bad" with hipster gluten free vegans fighting each other over who gets to eat the piglet in this promo video... id pay good money to watch something like that! it would be like election night all over again!
John Smith no a 1 day ticket with nothing included was 1,200. A 3 day ticket included the accomadation and food for 12,000. so 12,000 for 3 days in the bahamas is expensive especially when it turns out to be a scam
Yes, and also manage to get plumbing, clean drinking water, electricity, villas, bars, catering, waste management, transportation, advanced stages with proper sound, lighting, and effects completed before a year's time.

Vulture Vic I felt really sorry for Andy (the gay guy) and the local workers. I was so invested watching this just now I felt like I was stressed out for everyone except Billy and Grant. This reminded me of the Simpsons episode of the monorail salesman.
+ Vulture Vic - On balance, I prefer the Hulu documentary tbh Vulture. They're both sufficiently different so it won't feel like you're watching the same thing. I liked the Netflix documentary but it's slightly tainted by the fact it was made by Fuck Jerry. The Netflix documentary was very effective about what happened on the ground and why the festival was a disaster but the Hulu documentary was much more successful in showing why people fell for it and uncovering how much of a scam artist Billy McFarland truly was and what his motivations were. The Hulu documentary also showed that McFarland was a scammer from an extremely early age and that his other company, Magnises was a steaming pile of turd based on lies. The interview with McFarland also showed him to be a compulsive liar and someone who has never been held responsible for his fuck ups until now. This is why the Hulu doc is better.
It will, to archive video takes quite a bit of infrastructure, not to mention the comments and metadata. Unless an archive forms up a fond about the event, I doubt it will stay. Around 90% up of the internet is already lost, archival techniques for the web are always improving but it's costly and there are challenges which only become apparent decades after the event.
Still better than nothing. Proves that these millennials are not grateful. Yes, I know they got scammed but I rather take it done starve myself to death.
*wastes 1200 dollars and almost starves to death on an island* "Wow, these millennials are so ungrateful. When I was their age I paid 1500 dollars and the island didn't even have food"
Makes you wonder what kind of shitshow it would have turned into if they were able to keep it on the smaller island, because the Netflix doc brings up that there was no way to fit that many people on the small island. Not to mention, they still had none of the infrastructure, and it would have been even harder to do it on Norman's Cay.
@@rockerseven I think it would be more catastrophic. At least in the other island they had homes and local population. Imagine stranded in island which no power, food and water . No means to return to their homes
@@hamishwells2877 - The claim that Escobar owned the island wasn't false. However, the claim that Fyre bought the island patently was. Billy and chums spent months dicking about on the island originally owned by Escobar but the current owner at the time got tired of them, chucked them off with only 3 months to go and that's why the Fyre disaster festival ended up in Great Exuma.
Most of the people there weren’t rich people though. Watch internet historians video on it. The ticket prices ranged from 500 dollar GA tickets to 250,000 dollars super VIP tickets that I don’t think anyone actually bought. Most people payed around 1,200 dollars for their all inclusive package which is actually kind of a steal considering that they were promised a 2 week luxury vacation with private jet, villas, food, alcohol, popular head lining concerts and not to mention getting to take shots with Emily Ratajkowski on a tropical beach
But yea it’s really shitty that the locals on the island got fucked over like that. Apparently a go fund me started to help pay the locals back for their work and they got more than their money back restoring my faith in humanity
after 6 years this video is now a memory of the height of the mid 2010's. Before the Strawberry-mint J. Truump, the mild inconvenient plague. Damn If you lived it, you feel it like watching Pimp my ride. Second to that is a nice stock footage compilation with captions about something amazing.
Well, look at the clientele... Shit-for-brains know nothings. This is exactly what CA would turn into if it really did leave the union. They'd be back at the doorstep like a struggling teen who moved out because "You can't tell me what to do!" Failure theater

Some people dream of taking rich people's money. Others take their money, send them to a deserted island, and let them fight over food.
From what I read, a 419 scam is more efficient?
it was too low, it costed about 1,200 dollars or 500 dollars per ticket
2 weeks in the Bahamas for $1,200 is expensive? Oh ok
John Smith no a 1 day ticket with nothing included was 1,200. A 3 day ticket included the accomadation and food for 12,000. so 12,000 for 3 days in the bahamas is expensive especially when it turns out to be a scam
$500 is considered Rich? Bro I make double that bricklaying...

@@rockerseven I think it would be more catastrophic. At least in the other island they had homes and local population. Imagine stranded in island which no power, food and water . No means to return to their homes
Wow this is amazing. Am I 6 years too late? Where can I buy tickets?
Read wiki about “Fire Festival”
Willy wonka experience at glascaw Scotland
Best ever season of survivor
Wow once owned by a drug dealing gangster so it must be cool.
The human race is fucked.
Hey but he was a rich drug dealing gangster!!
Amy Dames don't forget murderer. But its cool man, he had a sick private zoo and let the poor kids in for free! Thats what I'd call a humanitarian!!
The funny thing is that that claim was false
@@hamishwells2877 - The claim that Escobar owned the island wasn't false. However, the claim that Fyre bought the island patently was.
Billy and chums spent months dicking about on the island originally owned by Escobar but the current owner at the time got tired of them, chucked them off with only 3 months to go and that's why the Fyre disaster festival ended up in Great Exuma.
To be fair, this is a perfect metaphor for Instagram generation, all flare posture and brag, the inability to deliver anything worth of value.
“worth of value”
Ironic. Because Instagram was originally used by hobbyist photographers who wanted that cross-processed film look without using Photoshop.
more like the haters of the instagram generation
Your resumed everything.
Word
This looks great. They should organize such a festival.
absolutely love the fact that this is still up
Right!? They truly didn’t and still don’t give a fuck 🤣
I'd like to thank Ja rule for making something new for the internet to ridicule
Ja ruleism
darkleaves its MURDA!!!!
Monica definitely ain't taking him back after this 😂
@@ademirsegura6307 BAYBEH!
Which is yes rule
i don’t feel bad for the dumb rich people who went i feel bad for the workers who never got paid
the cup RM throws in the Run MV me too! They are the real victims.
Most of the people there weren’t rich people though. Watch internet historians video on it. The ticket prices ranged from 500 dollar GA tickets to 250,000 dollars super VIP tickets that I don’t think anyone actually bought. Most people payed around 1,200 dollars for their all inclusive package which is actually kind of a steal considering that they were promised a 2 week luxury vacation with private jet, villas, food, alcohol, popular head lining concerts and not to mention getting to take shots with Emily Ratajkowski on a tropical beach
But yea it’s really shitty that the locals on the island got fucked over like that. Apparently a go fund me started to help pay the locals back for their work and they got more than their money back restoring my faith in humanity
@@jakobrasmussen1645 dude to pay 500$ for a festival + airplane tickets to the Bahamas you are either doing good enough or a moron.
Mr cs93 500 dollars is nothing dawg
This video still exist?
Holy Shit
I know, like I would imagine it would been removed immediately since it basically was the source of all problems.
Not an accomodation in sight. Lol 😅 This was crazy to watch unfold. Smh
Moral of the story: Don't go to a festival organized by a millennial and a washed-up rapper.
Vosloff Nooooooooooooooo Monika! (sorry had to be done)
Vosloff is the same kind of person to blame the failure of the tuna industry on millenials
Or by CZcamsrs who likes lying (Tana Mongueau and FouseyTube)
Begone, Boomer *shoos*
@@jameslyddall MIIINAAAAAJJJAAYYYY! Fucking wack ass loser Ja Rule😂😂 50 shoulda bought all the ticket for himself😂
this modern adaptation of Lord of the Flies looks sick
Who's watching in 2023?
“ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS NOT MENTION PABLO ESCOBAR CJ!!!!”
All those models made it unrealistic too.
1917 - There's a sucker born every minute
2017 - There's 10 suckers born every second
John Martin hehehe
"On the Bounds of the Impossible" should have been a dead giveaway.
0:24 - why is a twin prop plane making a jetliner noise?
Also shortly after
0:28
Um, very poor choice of imagry and sequencing.
0:28 I believed that plane was near the island, which was once owned by Pablo Escobar.
after 6 years this video is now a memory of the height of the mid 2010's. Before the Strawberry-mint J. Truump, the mild inconvenient plague. Damn If you lived it, you feel it like watching Pimp my ride. Second to that is a nice stock footage compilation with captions about something amazing.
Did they at least get an extra hour in the ball pit?
Dana Nguyen AYEEEE
Tumblr fest refrence xd
I love how badly this turned out. FEMA tents, wild dogs, school lunches, and diarrhea; I’ve been laughing for a year straight.
Dren Gillespie 😂😂😂😂
Wild dogs & school lunches😭
😂😂😂😂😂
still laughing in 2022
More to worst-
to be fair, the actual experience did indeed exceed all expectations
How do I get tickets for this?
Well, apparently he's making a part two. Just announced yesterday 😂😂😂😂
D A S H C O N 2
Tubzbuster Oh man that's the name! I kept thinking about that while hearing about this shitshow.
"Kendall Jenner... walked. On the count of three, let's all sigh together. One... Two..."
"GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!"
"GIVE US A PEPSI!"
Complete with ballpit
Tubzbuster do you get an extra hour in the ballpit?
"Once owned by Pablo Escobar"... This should've been the first clue to this festival being shit...the fact that they used this as a selling point.
Well, look at the clientele... Shit-for-brains know nothings. This is exactly what CA would turn into if it really did leave the union. They'd be back at the doorstep like a struggling teen who moved out because "You can't tell me what to do!"
Failure theater
California has the 6th largest economy in the world. You're basically the same as these numbnuts if you think think Instagram-crazed millennials represent any substantial part of the state's population.
Let's not forget the fact that ja rule a nigga whose career was destroyed almost 15 years ago was the nail in the coffin
lmao
Wow, so many beautiful models!!
I want to buy tickets to go attend this Fyre Festival right now!!
i have a bad thing to tell ya bro
@@scanialover Sarcasm don’t worry
What a fun looking event! I’m so sad I couldn’t have gone back then. I bet everyone had so much fun on that private island with all those celebrities
You know this festival was a scam, right? 😀
@@SimonFxx wdym? It looks soooo fun! What's the WORST thing that could ever happen? I'm suure it was a blast.
@@DarkJusn2020 Look at the documentary Fyre Festival: The Festival never happened something like this on Netflix. This festival was a completely scam, it never actually happened.
@@SimonFxx Dude I know, the original comment and me were just playing dumb lol.
I'm watching the documentary rn
@@DarkJusn2020 😭🤦♂️
