Does the whole "Influencer" tag line annoy anybody else like it does me?
Everything about it annoys me. Even more annoying are people I know with 60 Instagram followers who try desperately to be influencers. It's payhetic
He's a gay New York "event promoter," do you really think he didn't know what he was doing by telling a salacious story on camera to get some attention?Diggity said:
Of course he does...but they knew it was going to be a Netflix doc. What was he thinking?

I'm pretty sure the Netflix one was produced by F Jerry.

The arrogance/cockiness/hubris required to name your company F*** Jerry is substantial.

Overall I liked the Hulu one better. Gave a bit more of a attendee perspective. Also the NetFlix score was just an overwhelming Social Network/NIN rip off. Very tired.
You also have to remember the target audience wasn't the average millennial, it was well off kids in NYC (which he had already scammed with his cc). It is a totally different class of person. It's the perfect group to scam considering most of them have been coddled their whole life and aren't really worried about rent/saving up a down payment/etc and believe everyone is good in the world. They just want to keep up with the jones'. This was just random fun side cash. I personally know 0 people who have a lawyer on speed dial ready to sue someone like the kid in the netflix doc. (maybe a divorce lawyer or dui guy though).Facebook Sucks said:
Watched the netflix version and started watching the hulu version. The biggest standout to me is how dumb every millennial seems with regards to social media. I admit that I am a mellennial, but texags is my only social media other than my LinkedIn i never look at and only have in the event i start looking for a different job.
It blows my mind how influenced people are by people who post on instagram. I am an independent thinker and have always rejected the word of "authorities" based soley on them being the "authorities." Also, FOMO is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of and am ashamed that it is real.
Netflix show was good and hulu is good so far, but this event in general has left me dumbfounded. I had no clue about this other than I think Jake did a story on the 130 news around the time this started to break.

You could go to coachella, or any other music festival that has real acts for cheaper than this experience. There is a whole sector of humans with too much money who just want a cool insta pic. It really was the perfect target audience, they just couldn't pull it off.
edit: also user name definitely checks out.
