Can we really call anyone who goes to fyre fest 2 a vitcim? fool me once..
Jesus christ, not even renaming it.
Why rename it when you have that name recognition? I mean after getting your name known in households across the US, it would be stupid to rename your business.....
How this guy is allowed to run anything like this again, let alone the same exact scam is beyond me. Wtf.
Let's be real. A ton of people will pay to go even if it's another absolute shit show, or especially if it's another shit show, just for the media attention. I genuinely hope it's an absolute flop, but I feel like influencers will flock
If he's ripping off rich people and obnoxious social media influencers, I'll help print flyers or something
You get meat with the cheese sandwich this time.
Technically you get to meet with the cheese sandwich. They could only afford one cheese sandwich and you meet with it over zoom to make sure you don't eat it
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Anyone that's buys a ticket for this should not be allowed to vote.
its basically what Burning Man has evolved into. An anti-resort torture vacation for the ultra wealthy.
whats after that? perhaps active war zones.
Guess I know what documentary I’ll be watching in four years
Dashcon 2 is also happening, and will at least have a ball pit.
I’d prefer Fluttercon, but I’ll take it.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
I want receipts and video footage before I believe this.
I mean, they had (staged) footage and (fraudulent) receipts the first time.
Right. I totally forgot about that. Well maybe I want to hear it from the artist being invited to perform.
Yo, get Ja on the phone.
Too late buddy
At least internet historian will have material for new video.
Hmm this headline doesn’t remind me of anything in US politics…
Let's do a lemmy meetup at Fyre Fest II!
Anyone going is a prime target for other scams And they deserve it
