BURNED BY FYRE DEBACLE

If you paid $12,780 to attend the luxury Fyre Festival, you already know you’ve been had.

The scam of a sham of a festival, which was organized by Ja Rule and a tech entrepreneur who’s been involved in failed scams before, has turned into a nightmare. A canceled nightmare. It was Woodstock in the Bahamas — without the rain, the music or the cool people. Just the broken tents. This despite the fact that it was supposed to be a chance to luxuriate while hanging with musicians and big social media “influencers.”

What in hell are influencers anyway? Influencers are incredibly annoying people who often have millions of followers on social media.

They get paid by companies to “influence” dumb followers into buying products that they shill on social media without qualifications or well, anything. Kill me. The Fyre Festival was supposed to bring together the biggest influencers, including models, musicians and the one percenters who could afford to attend. In short, the opposite of what a music festival is supposed to be.

Anyway, the Fyre festival of influencer greed turned bad as soon as it started. Musicians pulled out, the “gourmet” food (cheese sandwiches) made airline box munchies look good, and accommodations at the Bahamian luxe getaway amounted to bad, unsteady tents. This all might have been OK with the paid influencers — but man! — when the feral dogs showed up to steal the cheese sandwiches? Seriously, even paid influencers have their standards. So many models, so little influence, such a giant mess.
