Click here   “Let’s just call it what it is,” Oren Aks, the former head of design, marketing and social strategy for Fyre Festival, told HuffPost in a phone conversation. “The scammers are scamming again.”Aks is talking about “Fyre,” the Netflix documentary released Friday, which chronicles the epic rise and fall of the elite music festival he helped advertise. Billed as a model-laden luxury romp on a private island in the Bahamas ― Pablo Escobar’s old island, to be exact ― the festival devolved into a profoundly sad anti-party. No models, no music, no beach. Worse: little food, no way to get home. The grisly reality was heavily documented by the festival’s social media influencer attendees, via photos of sad sandwiches, overcrowded airport terminals and a miniature tent city.But in the rollout of their competing docs on "the greatest party that never happened," the streaming companies have submitted to the very social media culture their films attempt to critique.
Your incredible "Incredibles" theory is ... probably incredibly wrong.
