Tone deaf: nearly 500k tech workers out of work = no extra money to burn.
Valid point. The economy is horrible and inflation is painful for everyone
Tickets $575 (not including fees). Parking permit $150. OUCH! 🤑
it is owned and controlled by a mega corp now.
after the stupidity lady year the oil protesters blocking a state hwy. for hrs.
do to the wet weather it should have been canceled out right. the damaged done to the plya will take decades for mother to fix.
far too many people there all the trash. and human animal by products left behind.
it is to much on the local area to Handel. but the park likes it cause they get a LOT of money out of it.
i say good i hope the money people lose there shirts on this.
then maybe in a couple years it will be NEVERMORE.
the people to go there are hated in every city town around the way in and out.
signs go up NO BURNING MAN people allowed here. as after a couple werks there all the dirt ( last year mud) they bring in. people bathing in restrooms. fouling them up, keeping other customers from using them. heck even wash your self car washes close during this time.
plugged up sewer systems. the trash dumped at dumpsters. on and on.
hurts everybody all the way into sacramento ca.
what's crazy is they usually immediately sell out. I dont understand how
Omg - I had no idea the cost was that high. That is crazy
Surprised the news guy didn’t say they are Burned out on it…
that's why they have editors.
Overpriced, trashy, weird and unhealthy.
And mostly lame
definitely weird, not unhealthy even remotely so and trashy can be ok in right moment. definitely overpriced though
What will all of the narcissists do with their free time now? Burning man has been cringe for years. Is anyone shocked?
Yes holier than thou, spiritually bypassing culty folks like Sonya Sophia
Burning Man killed by billionaire tech bros. It's no longer a place for real creatives.
Thank you ❤
It was never a place for "real creatives" unless self-indulgent hedonists and drug users fits into that definition.
@@Thomas23-tu8gj Spoken like a true virgin.
Surviving San Francisco is the new burning man.
Best comment
Yes!
Doesn’t look like a relaxing getaway to me.
I’m bummed, I always looked forward to them leaving for a week. The City and Bay Area felt so much chiller with them out of town.
I'll bet it smelled better, too.
🤣🤣
This.
Burningman is mainstream like disneyland
Burning man hasn’t been cool for over 15 years
Anyone who'd say something like that trying to be cool was never cool.
@@Benjamin_Gellman Anyone who'd say something like that, didn't go to it 15 years ago.
2011 was the end..
Why spend thousands to be homeless in the desert when you can have the same experience in SF, Berkeley, or Oakland for free? LOL
😂😂😂
I was part of the original Burning man concept. It was great. It was fun. And it was something to remember. BUT when they went main stream and celebs and no nothings started to come in, they ruined it for everyone else.
Maybe we can also blame inflation,downturn in the economy,fewer people can afford to travel out of town!
And all the crime coming across the border…can’t let yourself get kidnapped……☠️
There are still retailers left in San Fran?
It’s time to start learning instead of burning ✌🏾🎸
People woke up after the mud flood last year.
The Burner index is a new economic indicator?
Also my heroin dealer says his sales are down 40 percent in Berkeley. It's sad he has a wife and two kids
$575 for a ticket, then RV rental and if you're not west coast a flight to that region. you're looking at minimum $1.5k probably closer to $2k - that's just absurd and out of range for lots of people barely getting by
Couldn’t be happier to hear this. Too many fake millionaires called this their personal party. 🎈 😅🎉😂❤
This exact comment appears twice. Bots.
@@SteelandFeels not twice but thrice you numpty
People learned that from last years issues why bother.
The recession in North America is a Depression people don't have the money
Started as a bonfire at The Beach! Building a temporary city... 😮🤦🏽♀️
Weather forecast is more rain this year, I don't blame people for staying away
What are you talking about? Forecasts don’t go out that far.
Let it rain
Let it rain
"mired in controversy?" Because it rained for two days?
The funny part is the rain is coming again😅
Says who?
@@PTANV-x2g look at the weather map.
if so then it must be canceled, the park dept can live with out the money this year. all the city's and towns can enjoy none of the problems. .
people that love the open country can enjoy it after the land drys up. not like lady year.
@@larryjanson4011 its BLM land.. federal land.
Who knows, really? It’s nature. If you go out there be prepared for anything!
the fad is over. 😂
Not surprised …look at the price of tickets …& with the lottery system could be your best mates or you yourself might not "be admitted" & after last year a lot of people learned what it’s like to survive not just participate
Burning money
Never been, never will.😂 Then there's Fishbone broke up. 😢
Ya totally not worth it Bro. I'll take that crappy ticket. It's not what it used to be. Just stay home for reals.
Go somewhere else to have your cars broken into? You you could just stay home and watch the freaks
Boo f'n hoooo.. the reporter really missed his chance to say "Man, everyone is burnt out with going to the festival"
Oh boy, maybe only the fun people will go.
THE VIBE IS NOT AS VIBE AS THE VIBE USED TO VIBE, IVE TRIED TO VIBE BUT CANT EVEN BUY A VIBE BUT GOD KNOWS I TRIED TO VIBE BUT MAYBE ILL TRY A BRIBE CUZ THE VIBE JUST AINT ALIVE ANY LONGER!!!
I hope this movement goes away.
F the Burn
Wow. Expensive. Better to save that money for other needs.
I remember when you couldn’t get tickets no matter what you did!
I remember when 18k people showed up and we thought it was amazing! It took 2hours to get out and we thought that was crazy. $200 for a ticket seemed steep. Everything changes...thing go into fashion, things go out. Maybe it’ll be 18k attendance again soon.
What does this bourgeoisie purpose serve?
Relocate burning man to see how that affects sales.
BM has jumped the shark
Oh what a shame
Burn Bro has sucked for awhile now.
The local retailers dwindling is because of Amazon, not Burning Man ticket sales lol.
I went to the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert you can’t remember your name. I remember my first sun burn
David Date has "gone to every Burning Man since 2016"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They SHOULD have interviewed someone that has gone since the Baker Beach days.
It’s become and elite and heavily commercialized event. Dirty for a week! Uh no thank you.
Surely the rain in the desert, has greatly impacted the SFBA economy, way more than rampant unchecked crime…….😳😳😳
Too bad Burners fyi; that event was negative in case you were seeking a rose colored picture
😂😂😂 в грязи валятся за $1500
Became a bohemian grove for Silicon Valley elites, disrupted by
WHOA who would have thought if you try to COMMIDIFY Burning Man it wont work. IT is supposed to be ART not a concert.
Art my ass. It's a bunch of self-indulgent losers.
Wow, like water in the desert is such a bummer man!
not my problem
Freaks
It was better next year
They needed a shower.
It burnt....
an expensive blackrock racket in the desert with subpar music...what could go wrong? another woodstock bout of a burning hot mud desert washed out by cloud seeds? no thanks
Commodification at its finest
Boo hoo😂
Burning Mud
My cousin goes every year and he said it’s a big sex and drug party.
Girl, people are shopping Rubber LATEX instead of furry boots! .
Bidenomics
I think it returned to normal
EVERYTHING SUCKS!!! You name it. The movies, restaurants, bars, night clubs, concerts, events, school, work, the gym etc. All these thing that I've named cost money but give no satisfaction. Everything is a ripoff with no originality. It is way, way way more relaxing staying at home where it's comfortable, convenient, less stressful, and cheap. It's not even comparable. lol They tried to blame it on a death.
I wanted to attend this for so long and every year I’m prevented 😢
Hahaaa
I thought it was free thing
It's free before or after the Burning Man Festival.
Burning man is so, pardon the pun- burnt out. 2022 was my last Burn, but years before C-19 it was on it’s way out, maybe not attendance per se, but just…what it was. Last year, as well as in October of this year Ill be at Selitz Society in east Oregon. It has that pre-2000 Burning Man vibe and every man, woman, Ze, tech bro, and “influencer” hasn’t discovered it…yet.
Mud-man 2023
LMAO. Must be a result of the fantastic Biden/Harris economy, which is the greatest ever!
bidenomics BABY 😊😊
