Just Like Theranos... Except He Doesn't Go To Jail. Instead, He Thrives

It really is like watching the teranos documentary all over again. Or the Fyre Festival doc. Or the OTHER Fryre Festival doc. Same old story: a bunch of people buy into a con and in the end, you're shown that if you're a white male, there aren't really consequences for burning people. This is the American Dream.... if you're the right *kind* of person.

You'd be infuriated if you watched this 20 years ago. Maybe even 10 years ago. But twhat this movie shows us is so commonplace now that it doesn't really mean anything.

Tommy Wiseau's little brother

Throughout watching all i kept thinking was how would Tommy Wiseau rent office space? And what kind of summer camp would he run? And what would his S1 look like?

I can't stop shaking my head

Overall I thought this was well done. It's shocking how a company can grow to a giant but is made of fluff. I enjoyed everything except the end. It seemed like they had no idea how to end it and decided to do something with masks? Just strange.

"The most precious resource we have is time"

I love these peeks into the top 1% and how they go there. If there's one thing all the CEO/founders of all these companies have in common is that they are all assholes. I guess you have to be able to turn off empathy to exploit your workers. Spoiler, he gets a $1.7 BILLION payout on the end. Did he do anything wrong? Legally, looks like not. Morally, 100%

Informative... But poorly executed

Not the first time Hulu fails to think things through. The documentary -especially in the beginning- is simply boring. They spent an inordinate amount of time to describe the atmosphere at WeWork. And so little time in describing the intricate details of the downfall or the buildup to the downfall (more importantly).

Quotes
Alex Konrad: I get sort of the quick version of the tour and now WeWork has its own barista. So I say, "Okay, I want a cappuccino," and Adam orders a latte. And I reach for my coffee, and Adam's like, "Oh, no, no, that's mine." And I was like, "No... Hold on, you know. I got the cappuccino. Like that's a cappuccino." And Adam just looks really confused and upset. And one of the staff is like, "Oh, I'm sorry. We actually call those lattes and those cappuccinos here," pointing at the opposite one. It stood out to me as just like a strange, gratuitous reality distortion moment around Adam because he was ordering lattes but wants cappuccinos. And rather than try to explain to him that he's wrong, they're just gonna change the meaning of that word.
