    Even ignoring the warnings from this Twitter account.

    The best part is that most of the "victims" all seem to be Instagram/Youtube/Tumblr social media whores. Was there anyone that was there because they actually wanted to see Blink 182 or Ja Rule live?

    I think a lot of these social media whores are starving for content and this could be a way to get it.

    Just look at how well is Tasty doing with the $2000 pizza and other insanely priced food item on YT.

    I don't think its about hating people with money. If people hate Kendall Jenner they should hate Bill Gates and Warren Buffett exponentially more.

    I think it is more about hating the socialite culture that social media has created and monetized.

    You have 20-somethings doing little more than whoring themselves out on any social media platforms with no marketable skills other than the ability to show off products and look hot while doing it.

    So to see them getting suckered into an event designed to further fuel their vanity is just simple schadenfreude.

    This exactly. It isn't the money. It's the type of event this thing was supposed to be in the first place. An ego boost for narcissistic douchebags and social media whores. Their choice of celebrity promoters shows this.

    Still sucks people didn't get what they paid for, hopefully they get a refund. I guess they'll have to go back to gym and/or fake rolex selfies for now.

    And I bet a lot of the attendees are not "rich" but rather in huge credit card debt.

    Or business expense. $12K to buy views and grow your channel isn't that bad of a deal. Even the event went south like it did, I gave view count to a few random vlogs that I normally won't even know they existed.

    Glad this thing fell through, I can only imagine what thousands of ravers would have done to such a beautiful island. Apparently Fyre is now banned from the Bahamas as well, good riddance!

    What kind of birdhouse can you build with popsicles, roofies, and a rubber mallet?
