Tanacon: The Biggest Failure in YouTube History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- When Tana Mongeau first came up with the idea for TanaCon, it was hailed as one of the greatest entrepreneurial ideas ever. By the time it had concluded, individuals like Shane Dawson were calling it the worst business idea ever. What went wrong? How did Tanacon become one of the most disastrous ideas in RUclips history?
This is, TanaCon: The Greatest Failure in RUclips History.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤
Idk why everyone was so upset with the empty promises of TanaCon, they all got exactly what was included in the name. An extreme Tan and a Con
genius
Nice play on words
Noice
Underrated
Did you make that up? Very good
It’s a shame that Vidcon did not reply to her apology with “lol”
She probably deleted it
Its a *shane*….
Let's be honest we all know they did atleast make fun of her on the apology video but she obviously as the other guy said deleted the comment or any way they made fun of her
Yeah like there is literally nothing cool in her stupid convention
@@GFUNKY I feel like you attended tanacon by the looks of your comment and I gotta say that I feel pretty bad for everyone who attended bc of the heat
" He who fails to plan, plans to fail" Iv'e never forgotten that quote
It has different wordings but it's usually proven true
Ahhh....... KidBehindACamera in a nutshell (Who never thought about any consequences when pulling stupid shit on his Father)!!
"A failure in planning is a plan for failure." It was the opening quote for an episode of star wars the clone wars.
@@tacomcbabyhands4577 Winston Churchill is credited with saying: “He who fails to plan is planning to fail” over a half century before Star Wars *cloned* it (pun definitely intended.) And indications are that he got it from someone before him. In any case, the saying is actually from a long time ago in a galaxy not really all that far away. (second pun also definitely intended.)
@@ThatBoomerDude56 wasn't it Ben Franklin? Though I'm not so sure
i dont know what is more shocking, her grifting her followers, or the fact that people would pay to see a talentless person from social media
Exactly... its so sad!
Like the Kardashians
Dude my thoughts exactly. I never heard of any of these people and they don’t look like they offer anything of value
this girls are so dumb
Sadly it's not shocking to see people venerating these absolutely useless "human" beings...what a world
Tannacon just sounds like it was someone’s first time playing a tycoon game and forgot that guests actually have needs lol
Hey there it’s Josh from Let’s Game It Out
I love how accurate your comment is 😂😂. Like make a flashy park but didn't put toilets for the guess 😅.
**looks at Theme Park Tycoon 2**
**looks at my city skylines save that is being bombarded by meteors I sent**
Oh man ... I remember so long ago when I was a kid when they still gave out free games that came with cereal.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 ... My guests couldn't use the washroom or find much food but boy did they ever have fun 😂💀
When I was younger, I used to wonder why everything I was hyped about, my parents thought was stupid. Now I’m a parent, I totally get it.
These people who spend their money to watch some nobody with no talent got what they deserved.
Seeing you have a skyrim helmet as a pic, I'm assuming you're a millennial like I am, and what we were excited about, i.e. video games like a new Pokémon or Skyrim or a new Halo game. These give us entertainment and video games can help spark our imagination as well as help with our motor skills using joysticks and help with decision making.
What kids today are hyped about does NOT compare to what we were excited about. Influencers serve no purpose except for the sake of entertainment and maybe seeing some boobs... I mean healthy personalities.
@@Golgari213 fellow millennial here. vsauce made a great video called "juvenoia" you should watch. your perspective that "things were better back in my day" is not unique. every generation thinks that they are the most innovative of anyone before them and the wisest of anyone who comes after them. people complained about marilyn monroe and old hollywood the same way you're complaining about influencers now lol. those dang whipper snappers and their coca-cola! congrats, you're old! (like me!)
@@skrittle555 "you're old like me"....
Damn.... I am getting old... :/
@@Golgari213 Skyrim is cool, and a lot of current video games/things kids like are cool. The coolness factor diminishes INTENSELY when you are subjected to an endless barrage of references, explanations, in-jokes, and general memery about media you aren't interested in. I think that's where a lot of the resentment stems from. Also we definitely had super cringe, simplistic interests as kids. We just forgot all the boring nonsense we used to love.
Signed, a teacher who does her best to maintain interest in what my students talk about
Some people actually didn’t get their money back EVER. And she said she would personally refund them out of her pocket and never followed through. Just stating some important facts for anyone curious!
Wait didn’t it only cost a dollar?
@@tophatring8445 there were those “VIP” tickets that they sold more than they said they did and also I should’ve clarified yes, sorry. She was saying she would pay for ppl’s plane tickets too cuz some ppl flew to go to Tanacon. There’s more in depth videos about this, I recommend Smokey Glow’s! I also followed all this when this happened cuz it was a shit show lmfao
@@leslieknope3394 oh wow! Thanks for informing me
Not a surprise tbh. Scumbag influencers will never give anyone money unless they get something out of it.
low life
So a bunch of talentless internet narcissists tricked a bunch of other talentless internet narcissists into wasting their day either by burning in the sun or wandering around a hotel.
More of this please.
You got me. I hate that is lol’d. But I did.
Thank you. Despite watching the whole thing, I couldn't understand what her event was supposed to be! It was supposed to be a bunch of YT stars that contribute nothing to society giving each other high fives.
not everyone is narcissists that word is so misused
Never heard of her. I have no idea why she had so many fans.
@@blastofo her fans are all young impressionable girls, just look at the clips of the lines and the inside, it's literally all young girls
Food trucks and food carts could have made a killing showing up to this.
Food trucks never just show up or stake out a venue without prior being hired or contracted. U just xant sell food wherever u want. But yes if they paid food trucks to be there it would have been busy af
Once a shaved ice truck pulled up to a big football jamboree in 93 degree F heat. Needless to say they probably made over $500-600 every hour that day.
@@michaelmann831 and then had to pay it all as fines because they didn't have a licence to sell there. Because Food Trucks can't just... park somewhere and start selling food.
@@robbiirvine1038 they were hired. I never said they didn’t have a license to sell there.
@@michaelmann831 how would you know how much money they made ….?
It’s such a failure that I’ve never heard of it
Same, and why are you everywhere?

Stoo stalking me
@Lello I never heard of it either until today.
Stop
_"You can attend for free."_
Well that was the problem right there.
If they charged real money for tickets they would have sold less, less people would have shown up which would have reduced crowding, and they would have had more operating capital to provide things like food.
There's a reason you have to pay money to go to events.
Yeah every time a convention disaster is talked about the biggest factor is that the inexperienced organizers pull a cost for tickets out of their ass which is way to low then promise every attendee a blowjob on the surface of the moon with admission. Then they run out of money focusing on renting rocket ships before even thinking about catering....
Thank god someone gets it
This has actually happened with a local Waterpark in my city. When I was a kid it was nice, and it is still the biggest Waterpark in the area, but they began lowering the price of their season passes until they were almost the same as regular tickets. This has led to a massive influx of people, but with less money. The Waterpark needs every pool resurfaced, a lot more cleaning, and the rides seem like they need maintenance because the waterflow on them is terrible, but I would assume they're struggling because for a whole season pass, which allows for +1 guests and discounts, only costs like $50 (last I saw). The lines have also gotten so long it is miserable, and the pools are too crowded, it's like that opening scene from Diary of a Wimpy kid where they go to the public pool.
That message ended up being longer than I meant, but yes, I wish more people understood why certain things have to be expensive.
Wait. If it was free, what did they refund?
@@kashsmith6181 people could pay for tickets
It depresses me that so much as 1 person would want to attend this even if it was completely legit
Fr
Imagine waiting for hours, in the SCORCHING HEAT, maybe alone or with friends, or as a parent with your daughter(s) and/or son(s), just for the event to be cancelled. Nobody would have stopped ‘Karen’ there.
Karens would rejoice
What event, they are all mindless drones and a waste of humanity
The only situation where a Karen might have a point here
Everyone (considering the fact that most of the attendees were teens and people up to late 20s) has the access to the Internet. The attendees could had checked weather forecast, brought sunscreen, water and food together with them just in case of any inconvenience. I am gobsmacked that people had gone to the event without prioritizing themselves first. And what about their parents? Did they seriously not care and let those teens go the event without any necessary items? Genuinely, those people are not any better than Tana. Imagine taking a camera, phone and some other things, but not having a thought about putting food, bottle of water or other more important things to your backpack? Yikes.
@@endisfox6217 They probably didn't think they'll we waiting for that long.
when fyre fest failed to teach people lessons, tanacon was there to reinforce them.
Lol, talletail! I just came here from watching DanTDM and denis
That pfp brings back so many memories
Oh god fyre fest was an abomination
I came to the comments to see if anyone else mentioned fyre fest
The funny thing is Tana probably went to Fyre Fest. She seems like the type of person to have gone.
I sincerely cannot fathom standing in line to meet an influencer. Just why.
Even in well organized conventions you still have to pay premium tickets to get to meet your desired influencers and wait in line with the hundreds of other premium ticket holders for hours with the smell of sweat and other bodily fluids getting worse by the minute.
All of this for a hi what's your name thanks for coming, selfie and out.
How has this become a thing. It baffles me.
Mostly a woman thing. Pathetic and they should have never been allowed to vote. Look at what they worship.
cuz this generation is ****ed up , that is why ...
You are being too benevolent. I personally cannot even fathom why would anyone care, follow, even be remotely interested in anything these people do, say, or are.
@@LuisLopez2 Lack of character + low self esteem + no role models.
Basically sums up a lot of sheep behaviour.
This honestly makes DashCon look like a overwhelming success and yet these scam artists are allowed to continue as normal because they have a social media following. Just because a few people follow you doesnt mean you're right
Wtf is dashcon?
@@quaxolotl6509 I am so jealous of the ignorance around that " event ". Save your IQ and just write it off as some event lol

@@tamarinds a random attendee brought it, it got urinated and probably worse in and had to be removed, and was remarkably a highlight of the event.
But it was there, and became a legend in its own right 😂
Tanacon was such a disaster that I still get a kick out of watching videos covering this travesty even after all these years
Same
For maybe 30 seconds. Then we realize we’ve seen this covered years ago by multiple channels. And then other channels since then. And then every other channel since. And then went to a different video.
Same, it's hilarious to see just how scummy these people are, and how they keep getting away with it.
@Yo Momma says the guy whose name is "Yo Mama"
Compare to Fyre Festival, so yes it was
It’s so sad all these “influencers” can do all this dumb shit and people just forgive them.
What did you want them to do after the refunds and apologies?
I remember the time when content creators were completely honest, weren't so clout-hungry, and didn't use their fame to defend themselves from acts that would often not be forgiven.
@@ps2bndled that time is gone. Sad to say.
@@therealding221 😥
what else was she supposed to do? lmao
I remember when Shane Dawson did his documentary that did nothing other than say "no one is responsible for what happened!!! look at both sides blaming each other!!"
All of his documentaries ended up that way honestly.
He's an alpha 'non journalist'
not really shane SAID that but all his editing and questions made it obviously clear it was a PR campgin for his friend tana to pass all the blame onto micheal weiss who was a douche but tana was literally just as bad never forget the phrase "I LOVE THAT FOR US"
A documentary should have an unbias view though...and the viewers can decide for themselves on their own thoughts. Documentaries are there to state the facts rather than tell you what to think
@@joesr31 I know, but Shane never makes an effort to look further, he only listens to what the two tell him. I also feel he was far less harsh on Tana, unlike how he was with the other guy.
I went to a first year con back in 2004 and it was somewhat organized, but it was obvious the venue was too small for the amount of people who attended. In later years, they learned from their mistakes and not only changed the venue, they rented a second one as well. Watching this in comparison to the one I'm talking about is just chaos.
At least they acknowledged their faults
It just blows my mind that someone like her can be that famous.
How can so many people pay to go there, what is it so special about her and the rest of the 'ifluencers'? it really baffles me
@@borceacasian7425 Ik, being honest I wouldn’t spend money even to see my favorite creators.
@@judah5696 not even a penny just to get rid of said penny?
@@ADMICKEY she’s so dry
I can assure you majority of people who went to the "event" is not because they want to see Tana but because they want to see the creators Tana claimed to show up.
So essentially, TanaCon was created out of spite because Tana wasn't invited to Vidcon's birthday party. Imagine being that entitled lmao
I'll start my own vidcon with blackjack and hookers...and 10 mile long lines
And being arogant enough to think u could pull it off
When spiteful creations succeed they’re hilarious (in a positive sense) but when they fail they’re... well, they’re still hilarious (just in the negative sense)
"B-b-but I'm so pretty! And talented, and quirky, and funny...they're gonna regret not having me at VidCon, 'cause...um...I'll have my own convention! Yeah, that's the ticket! Who cares if it takes most of a year to organize even small events - I'm magic, I'm Tacky Mongoose...Tangerine Mongoloid...wait, I got it, Tana Meauxjeaux, and all I need is a few tweets, plus some retweets from friends, that it's all happening next week, with tickets going for $12,000/person. Like Bubsy says, what could possibly go wrong? I can make it all happen because I'm sooooo PREEEE-TEEEEE..."
You could slice the hubris and privilege like cake.
@@muckymoe5619 nice reference lol
I’m surprised no one sued her in civil court for what she made them go through
The people who signed up for this are pretty brain dead so no surprise here
Same for her RUclips channel 😂
LMAO
It’s honestly shocking, I would never have gone to itself even if I had known at the time but if I did I would’ve sued for sure. It’s disgusting.
Plausible deniability. She can blame the event coordinators. In order to sue her - herself - they would have to prove that she knew what was going to happen. She is shielded by the event people.
I’m so shocked that she got a happy ending after almost creating such horrendous act. It goes to show how taking accountability goes a long wah
I'm sure she was popular due to her high intellect and organizational skills.
Yep…
Uh, Yeah…that’s it.
Definently.
hE fUcKeD mE wItH a ToOtHbRuSh!
Birds of a feather y’know
Tanacon was literally just Tana attempting to solve her personal envy with RUclips about not being represented as a creator at Vidcon. It’s nothing more than just someone’s jealousy going to the extreme.
Exactly... this is what happens when a petty immature person can't handle being told 'NO'

I'm a community organizer with 30 years of experience, and I've sat on committees to organize protests and direct actions attended by hundreds of thousands of people. I've also organized events entirely by myself attended by ten thousand or more people. I can tell you that organizing for these events usually starts 8-12 months earlier, with the last four months becoming full-time work for everyone involved to get things nailed down. The two weeks before the event are sheer craziness, and I've sometimes gone as long as three days without sleep at a time during the crunch period. The idea that you can set up a major event in four months with people who have zero experience doing so is the epitome of Dunning-Kruger confidence.
I have a question: For organized protests, how can this time frame you provided fit for sudden events (e.g.: Sudden police brutality case)?
@@johnnywoodson4231 There are tools for handling events which require quick action, such as phone trees and flying squads. A phone tree involves assigning each person three or four other people within the organization to contact with a bit of overlap between them so that when the phone tree is triggered, the entire organization can be alerted within minutes. Flying squads are a group of volunteers within an organization who have jobs or lifestyles which give them a lot of flexibility, and who are ready to go to an action with zero prior notice. The flying squad are usually the people who store the banners, flags, first aid kits, and so on, so they're always ready to go.
That said, while it's _possible_ for an experienced group to throw together a quick action, it's by no means ideal. You're going into the situation blind, probably without proper legal guidance and representation, without thought to media relations, and unprepared for specific scenarios which would otherwise have had time to be workshopped to develop a plan of action. In my line of work, being unprepared is how people get hurt or arrested.
For some reason, I dont think organizing is that hard. Especially the small scaled ones. Large ones need a lot of planning but a small scale upto 2k people? All you need is to be in proper contact with authorities, have a proper venue, security, food and water, bathrooms, and a plan of how the event will run. As long as you stick with providing the basics, the event might not be great but it will run smoothly. It does not seem that hard tbh. She was just greedy as fuck and probably oversold and spent less.
Calculating the breakeven point of ticket price should be the first thing they should have done.
@@Ntnt11 "For some reason"? The reason is the Dunning-Kruger effect. You don't know enough to be able to recognize your own ignorance of the subject -- just like the people who put on Tanacon.

i've watched a lot of disaster documentaries so let me just say: it's incredibly lucky that nobody died or got injured. I think the only thing that kept a crowd crush from happening inside when the event was shut down was that people were reluctant to leave.

If you're going to make your own convention just because of pure spite then you shouldnt be surprise why it would fail. Tana didnt want to actually meet her fans cause if she did she would've planned this better but because she has hate towards Vidcon she rushed it
Idk who was worse, Tana for this, or the people who really stood out there and continued to wait after the 2-hour mark after reading the situation somewhat

I absolutely despise her. Considering the type of person she is, I'm not surprised it failed. The fact that she named it "Tana" Con feels so narcissistic on her part, and since she was upset that she got banned from VidCon, it felt doomed to fail. She seems to care so much about herself that she didn't even think about the planning and consequences. I appreciate that she apologized, but she should've known better tbh.
It's really depressing that people like her can be so rich and successful and here I am working 52 hours a week and will probably never have 1% of the wealth she does. Real bummer.

If you look at Tana’s age currently, she’s 23 years old. The organization of Tanacon happened in 2018, meaning 3 years ago. 3 years ago, she was 20 years old. She’s not blaming anyone other than herself in that statement.
That's does not sound of someone who is taking accountability. She is putting the blame to an external source in time.
@@invertco1955 even if thats talking about herself it sounds like dissasociating the responsibility from yourself by giving it a third person "personality"
You made such a garbage event into a criminal like documentary, focking fenominal❗💯
I mean... it was a different kind of con.
Focking lazer sights.
Phenomenal*
QUICK EDIT IT AND I WILL DELETE
Because it should be a crime. She scammed all these people.
@@LUXSTERIA its on purpose chicken face
Perfect example of a vanity project gone wrong.
"I have never ever put this much heart and soul into anything in my entire life."
Yet she barely even planned the thing.
She should have waited longer before letting the event go down
That phrase is so overused by influencers to appeal to those emotionally
Yeah she didn’t plan anything but our all her effort into it… tells us how much she’s achieved in her lifetime lol
Trust me she meant excatly what she said
@@jairoherrera4040
Though in her case this quote is completely accurate.
The really funny thing is that if she had just booked a tour instead of a con, the venues would have handled most of the organizing, the guests would have a better time, and there would be no loss of programming because the only programming was just going to be her talking anyway.
Overall:
*Let’s just hope she doesn’t plan on making a Tanacon 2….*
Titanicon
Or it will be your name
Titanfall?
Oh no. Sequels are always worse than the first part.
Tanacon2: Frigid boogaloo
The twist this time is that the attendees will suffer from intense cold instead of heat
The longer this video goes on for the more and more it starts to sound like this event was a survival experience, being kept indoors or barred outdoors in mid-summer temperatures, people are burning and passing out, not enough water, no food to go around.. what the hell? 😆
My boy Plainrock124 getting the recognition he deserves documenting the whole TanaCon trainwreck.
🙌
I knew one day he would get it.
Yup he’s great
He must’ve needed lots of sunscreen
Get your boy a haircut
@@ext93 ?
Just imagine, a few more weeks of planning with proper organizers and appropriate venue and Tanacon could have become it's own thing even today. She fumbled a massive bag.
Well it's been 4 years since. She's had plenty of time to redeem herself and plan a proper one, but she didn't. It's destined to fail no matter what these people try to do.
It takes more than just a couple more weeks to plan this stuff
These stories are so fascinating to me as someone who lives more isolated from this type of stuff.
This is the typical and cringe influencers I've heard all day. Imagine payinf to see someone who has no talent like what did they expect of a tasteless event to have?
Small Australian city life ✌🏼
Boombon, yep, same here. I love my home on my mountain. None of this bs touches me. It's unfathomable to me that anyone looks up to these morons.
I know I enjoy youtubers like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, they've started doing like improve tours, and I'd love to see one someday,but someone like Tanna..no.
I've never paid to see another human being in my life. Just don't understand why people even do that
I mean, bands and stuff are worth it... But those are people with actual talent. Meeting RUclipsrs like Shane and Tana, however...
Glasses, movies, plane tickets, acting like you ain't spend gas to see ya mama
@@stidilyditches at the very minimum your mom is more important to you than some random youtuber
What about concerts? Just in this year i went to the concert of Rammstein in Mexico and it was awesome. So somethings are worth it.
@@PonchitoPoncho2050 you could do the same by just watching it on yt...
Tana Mongeau try to make a Con but fails
Fyre Festival, Rainfurest, Dashcon: "first time?"
I mean it was a con that over 5000 people fell for
Rainfurest failed because of its community, not the organizers
presenting tana con fyre and rainfurrest festival!

Lots of these 'influencers' are all talk. Who the heck was saying this was a great idea? I mean anyone can say they'll do something but do they understand the actual effort it takes to accomplish it. It's hilarious when you see them try to branch off and just fail spectacularly because the only support will be their hardcore fans.
I do love when they succeed though
Thats what happens when you gain fame based on popularity and not talent
Surrounded by yes men (who are likely around them for their money and fame)
Never heard of Tanacon, so I guess I'm winning already...
Me neither. Good for us.
Ye we win
Wow. I remember it vividly. It was one of the biggest controversies on RUclips at the time.
I didn't hear about until a few months later
i only heard about it from critikal
The sheer idea of a 30 something person attending an event to see a RUclipsr live is so, so distant to me that I think me and these 5k beings couldn't be the same species.
Bet Vidcon was rolling off their asses when they saw The Terrible, The Tasteless, The Tacky Tanacon and her main con organizers created the WORST possible event in the history of Media.
This is worse than the other disastrous conventions combined. Here's why:
Dashcon: It would've worked if someone professional was working on it.
Rainfurrest: It has worked previously, as it was a convention for years until the chaos happened in 2015, which abruptly ended it entirely.
Fyre Festival: If they had planned it two years out, it would've been a success.
TanaCon: It was just made to spite VidCon. That's it! So there was no way it could've succeeded unless you changed the intention of the convention entirely. Which would mean it wouldn't have happened.
Fyre Festival is actually just a scam, they don't even planned it properly.
Rainfurrest was a first time thing. There's other furry cons, rainfurrest was made for people and activities mostly banned from other cons. It didn't work, because all the bad people came in force
Sorce: furry friends who heard about it
@@novared7 Internet Historian made a video about that
Rainfurrest can be great if the deranged one didn't come.
When ppl are looking for shortcuts it rarely ends well. I prepared for one year for a trip to Japan and it went fine. Ppl, don't sabotage "future you" through overconfidence in the present :)
Dashcon was straight scam.
The selflessness to name a convention after yourself is just staggering to me. She is a true friend to humanity
Yeah, the moronic side of humanity.
You mean selfishness/self-absorbed
@@SBahamondes no I mean she's obviously not selfish or self absorbed, she's clearly q very modest person
@@knightdriven4202 and I truly fail to understand why. I mean I don't even know her so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but at plain view, she doesn't seem extraordinarily intelligent or talented, and she's not over the top attractive, so why do people look up to her at all?
@@knightdriven4202 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dude,what u talkin' about?!?! Damn.
Ok so she didn't do a good job putting it all together, however those people didn't have to stand out there for hours just to meet a person!!! This was insane
They clearly didn’t know how long it was supposed to take
I love how the MW2 soundtrack is in the background.
I love how the music of All Ghillied Up is in the background
That mom that went off is such a fucking legend. I hope she’s doing alright.
Also I genuinely cringed at the clip of those two girls with that sunburn. I’ve been toasted like that before and it is agony for me.
Remember when the biggest draw was meeting Shane Dawson? A different time
Before we knew his true colors
@@natethegreat5968 I always thought he was a weirdo
@@natethegreat5968 Tbh it was still common knowledge to many people that he did blackface and made weird-ass pedo jokes - since those videos remained up for years and years and were some of the most watched videos on the site when they originally came out. The same shit that made him famous also brought him down lmao.
@@boostwasabi7626 How come nobody gave af when the video first came out lol
@@IIOctaneII Because back then dark jokes and edginess was a thing that people liked in the internet.
I wouldn't trust anything coming out of Shane's mouth. He's a typical narcissist.
The fact that he was involved in this shitshow, no matter how small his involvement was, was a warning in itself.
He's a lot worse than that..check his past history where he talks about children in a very inappropriate way..repeatedly. He's an absolute scumbag
This is like when all your friends invite other friends to your house, and then you run out of booze at 11:00PM…
And you all live in the 9th circle of hell
Lmao at all the Stans who forgave her immediately after she tweeted. Those people deserve what happened to them. Don't ever be a Stan kids it never ends well
wtf
True. Admiring someone and taking them as an inspiration is nice, but being obsessed about them is plain toxicity.
Well, obviously most of her stans are kids so... 😗, They will realize how dumb to be a stan or blindly stan a not so good influencer later on
This is some of the truest statements said.
What a weird thing to say

I will never understand people who wait for hours for something. I'd leave if I was kept waiting more than 30 minutes.
This shows such a huge difference between internet "celebrities" who never should have gotten famous and mainstream celebrities that are well loved and never became even close to being cancelled.
Tana makes her fans wait for hours in the heat and then cancels the event.
Singers like Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, etc (cannot remember another example to save my life) bring out drinks and food for the fans waiting for their concert.
Sure
I previously only heard of Tanacon in jokes and offhand mentions, and I just assumed from all of the talks about sunburns that it was a literal ‘Tan Convention’ where people went to get tans 💀
I mean, those who went certainly got tans, so you weren't wrong 😀
Close enough I guess
Same lol
I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to actually idolize an '"influencer"
Lol my exact thoughts …….. the parents there are even worse
Also a big "clout"
@@chuchorodriguez1893 I still can't comprehend how people would spend their money to see a bunch of nobodies with no real talent like singing.

Gotta give credit to PlainRock124 for vlogging nearly the entire thing to give us the best insight on how fucked this was
Still blows my mind how people like tana, Jake etc. Can get famous in the first place. Insane
Simple. Because they're hot
@@leonrobinson8180 is that why all of tanas fans are little girls? And Jakes fans are mostly little boys?
@@matthewthomas1929 nah it’s because they have lots of cash so they can do expensive shit that normal people like us watch.(I don’t I see no point in flexing)
Becsuse people like you spend time n effort giving them hate and attention
Because stupid shit attracts stupid people. And I'm pretty sure the majority of children/teenagers are stupid.
This is the result of a career high but an experience low
No way she did it the same day as vidcon.... I'm sorry that makes no sense that she didn't know that would happen. She lied to lie ...
Nah she purposefully planned it that way in spite of vidcon
@@Christina_Cage Whatever you say, troll.
Yeah she did, she salty because vidcon banned her (because she doing unofficial meet and greet before and cause safety concern), that why she bring someone like shane dawson who dont do vidcon to come to her tanacon so people will going to tanacon (some creator even say they never did say yes to tanacon thought)
Arent these RUclipsrs all actors?
Can you imagine actually showing up to something like this
I remember when Shane shilled for Tana basically.
he was just playing the game. their high profile social media 'friendships' are just business -- chess, most of the time
@@quickstep2408 And that makes it any better?
@@onigames7309 feels like that makes it worse.
@@quickstep2408 thats facts and when i comment that stuff a bunch of angry fans tell me to "Stfu" imao. anyways here an example, KSI and logan Pool
Man I remember when Plainrock uploaded the video on Tanacon. Glad his footage was used a lot in this, finally he was recognised for this
I’m glad Amanda’s content (Swell Entertainment) was featured in this. Hers is one of the best documentations of this disaster of an event. If i recall correctly, she even did a revisit of this a year after and she got interviewed together with the organizers themselves. By the way, Amanda is one of the best content creators out there right now. Eloquent, intelligent, well-informed, and does her research well.
Something about you always using the soundtrack from the OG modern warfare adds such a good vibe to the videos. literally makes me comfy in each video
The fact that Plainrock124 is in this makes me happy
Glad I'm not the only one here who knows who he is
@@RandomJAZ Yeah
Yup
Yeah his videos are great
Yup
I remember When this all went down so much more ironic how confident she was in it 😂
same i fucking fainted when i went
I’m surprised not even on person was able to sue tana.
Is there a case?
@@TDIdialgagirl I mean maybe for the overselling of the event? All the other stuff, though awful, not sure if they can sue, but again maybe for the overselling of the event.
