This is about the melted down "luxury music/lifestyle festival" that resulted in thousands of people stranded either on the island or enroute as the festival collapsed in disorder. It's interesting from various aspects, including: business fraud, con artists, gullible Millenials, Instagram model culture, following the herd off a cliff, etc etc etc.

Some of the pathetic saga is related here:

The festival was sold with sexy models via Instagram and the web, but the reality turned out to be a catastrophe.

The experience was a little too edgy.

The project wasn’t complete. If they’d managed to isolate the island for a few more days cannibalism would have set in. It costs a lot of money to set up an experiment like that.

Young dumb rich lemmings.

When I first read of this I thought that Mad Magazine could not have come up with a better satire of the young and the stupidly rich.

Last paragraph:

I cannot explain how or why the bros running this festival ignored every warning sign they were given along the way. The writing was on the wall. I saw it firsthand six weeks ago. They overlooked so many very basic things. And baby, they forgot to make me sign an NDA.

With respect to the "explanation how or why," I can offer this one: Dunning-Kruger Effect.
