In spring 2022, a social media-famous dancer went viral on Instagram… but not for her moves. This time, it was for a 40-minute video begging the world to help get the word out about her sister, also a TikTok performer, who had allegedly been inducted into a cult. The sisters in question? Miranda and Melanie Wilking. The “cult”? 7M Films, a secretive Christian-affiliated talent management company who's been accused of financial exploitation, emotional and spiritual manipulation, and isolating vulnerable young social media stars in Los Angeles from their families.

We live in an age where economic success can depend a lot more on hype and branding than offering actual useful things that help people. Occasionally, we see extreme examples of fakers and frauds, like Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos and Billy McFarland of the Fyre Festival. But those are the few that have seen their lies exposed and their careers come crashing down. There are others, like Tesla's Elon Musk, WeWork's Adam Neumann, and America's Donald Trump, who have reaped riches beyond comprehension by bullshitting and betraying people. Today on the podcast, journalist and attorney Gabrielle Bluestone joins to discuss how con artists get away with it, and the way scammers succeed in getting people to believe in images that depart completely from reality. Gabrielle is the author of Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over The Internet and Why We're Following. She also produced the Netflix documentary FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. Gabrielle's work exposes the ways that con artists take advantage of people's desire for status and fulfillment, in particular the pernicious and fictitious content produced by social media "influencers." In this interview we discuss:- How much of what appears on social media is fake or secretly being paid for by someone- How little meaningful accountability there is for those who rip others off, how Americans are oddly unsympathetic to the victims of scammers and sometimes even seem to root for the grifter- The empty lives of full-time influencers, who must constantly be striving to sell their personal brands and maintain their followings- How the world of cryptocurrency and "NFTs" has taken all of this to new extremes- Why we could all stand to become a little more cynical and think more critically about the ways we might be being taken advantage of. If a product has 5-star reviews, are they real? If someone posts a picture of themselves on a private jet, are they really on one, or are they in a rented photo studio designed to look like the inside of a private jet? Gabrielle reminds us that online, almost nothing can be trusted to be what it seems.

The Fyre Festival was supposed to be a 2017 weekend of concerts and luxurious lodgings. Instead, it left ticketholders stranded, angry and hoodwinked. Gabrielle Bluestone joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how Fyre is one of many, many examples of the way social media influencers build stories too good to be true, and why falling for those beautiful lies is part of the current Internet experience. Her book is called “Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over the Internet―and Why We're Following.”

Gabrielle Bluestone is a journalist and licensed attorney from New York whose writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post and Gawker. She is the Emmy nominated producer of Netflix's FYRE doc.

Author Gabrielle Bluestone - Hype: How Grifters and Con Artists are Taking Over the Internet - and Why We're Following Them Hype explores social media scams, influencers and why we follow and fall for them. While working as a journalist at Vice, Gabrielle Bluestone was the first to uncover the scam behind the infamous Frye Music Festival. Because of her reporting, con man Billy McFarland is behind bars for fraud.  But it wasn't before many innocent people had been duped into giving him millions of dollars. Gabrielle went on to become the Emmy nominated executive producer of the Netflix documentary Frye. The documentary and Gabrielle went on to receive an Emmy nomination. And then she dug some more. Her background as a reporter for Gawker, Jezebel and Vice, along with being a licensed attorney gave her the tools she needed. She had a lot of questions and was looking for answers. Although con artists have been around for a long time, this was new. Con artists are now being assisted by technology and social media. Gabrielle Bluestone is a journalist and attorney from New York. Her writings have appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, New York Observer, Sunday Times Magazine, Esquire, InStyle and Gawker. Hype is her first book. A conversation and lots of questions with Gabrielle: From attorney to journalist It looked like a dream festival One picture questioned it all That classic cheese sandwich Influencers and marketing 'The Joneses' made in 2010 - a prediction of the future? Influencers How scammers survive Seems like a pyramid scheme Playing to our dreams FOMO - Fear of Missing Out The continuation How do we stop it

(5/6/21) We live in an age where scams are the new normal. Today’s viral grifters have ascended to fame and descended into infamy, yet the question remains—why do these types of digital fraud continue to happen so frequently? In her new book Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over the Internet―and Why We're Following, former Vice journalist and executive producer of the Netflix doc Fyre Gabrielle Bluestone breaks down the empty promises driving the social media ecosystem. Join us for a look at how to break out of this vicious cycle in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Gabrielle Bluestone to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her new book HYPE---and what she hopes it does to make readers more aware of the dangers online and offline. 

Award-winning journalist and writer Gabrielle Bluestone chatted to Louise about her new book 'Hype'

In this week’s Afternoon Tea, Sami is joined by Gabrielle Bluestone, journalist, Emmy-nominated executive producer of Fyre on Netflix, and author of Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over the Internet— and Why We’re Following. They start off with a conversation about her new book and the moment she realized the overhyped Fyre Festival was not what it claimed to be. Next, they discuss the rise of the scammer industry, why it seems like we live in an age where scams are the new normal, and how we as consumers can stop getting played. To end the episode, they play a round of The Four Questions, which leads to a conversation about what the world would look like without marketing and advertising.

The queen of scam reporting, Gabrielle Bluestone, joins us this week to talk about all of our favorite scams. This woman broke the news about the Fyre Festival, people, and now she has a new book out about it all. She also tells us her opinion on Khloe Kardashian, Instagram, and even the Barbra Streisand effect. Plus, why aren’t more people talking about Vandepump alum, Jax, already scamming his baby?

We live in an age where scams are the new normal. A charismatic entrepreneur sells thousands of tickets for a festival that never happened. Respected investors pour millions into a start-up centered around fake blood tests. Reviewers and celebrities flock to London’s top-rated restaurant that’s little more than a backyard shed. These unsettling stories of today’s viral grifters have risen to fame and hit the front-page headlines, yet the curious conundrum remains – why do these scams happen? Drawing from scientific research, marketing campaigns, and exclusive documents and interviews, Vice reporter Gabrielle Bluestone delves into the irresistible hype that fuels our social media ecosystem, whether it’s from the trusted influencers that peddled Fyre or the consumer reviews that sold Juicero. Her new book is "Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over the Internet and Why We're Following" that pulls back the curtain on the manipulation game behind the never-ending scam

Testing whether or know she remembers how to read outside of dragging someone about Danielle, Sarah picks up a copy of "Hype: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists Are Taking Over the Internet - and Why We're Following."

They discuss how Shannon would fare as a Myers Briggs  personality type for Housewives, the surprising role reversal during Shane and Emily's nuanced conversation about faith, and why Lisa Barlow is a community theatre LVP.

Sarah hops a PJ to Vail, excited to infuriate Mary long enough to receive a Chanel wardrobe, until her captain says they don't have enough pre-paid gas to cross Laguardia. After offering to eat dairy to no avail, she heads back to the People's People's Couch for a spiritual snow day (not so fast, ladies night at Beautique) with one of her fave authors and Bravoholics, Gabrielle Bluestone (Emmy-nominated producer of Netflix's Fyre documentary and author of HYPE: How Scammers, Grifters, and Con Artists are Taking Over the Internet - and Why We're Following). They discuss the difference between 'facts' and proof in Meredith's mind, friendship as the ultimate Housewives grift, and a 1950s social experiment that helps explain Housewives' strategic majority rule. Who needs a red bottom heel, when there are enough Househusband heels to go around - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 271!
