Is there a word for that slightly scummy, uncomfortable feeling you're left with after reading a particularly empty piece of marketing drivel?
German probably has one.

I'm trying to imagine some sort of word that combines nauseated with loathing. I'm sure in German you can concatenate a word together.

#14Disappointing that HN of all places couldn't be a little more discerning when reviewing this. Because from what I've heard there was a legitimate business problem that Fyre was attempting to solve. (1) All of the middle men between talent and event organisers and (2) the lack of luxury concert events.
Are they completely inept at following through with this ? Yes. But the idea wasn't that bad. And they deserve credit for getting so many celebrities on board.

LOL, I forgot about that. Staggering genius is rarely understood in its own time.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad that Umberto Eco didn't live to see that.

I agree. All of this may appear incredibly douchy, but they had a viable business model. Now that they are most certainly finished, there should be plenty of opportunity for someone else to totally steal the idea. Hopefully not someone as incompetent and lazy.
