Tanacon: The Biggest Failure in YouTube History

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 KZbin history?
This is, TanaCon: The Greatest Failure in KZbin History.

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.

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.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

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.

[@johnnywoodson4231]

I have a question: For organized protests, how can this time frame you provided fit for sudden events (e.g.: Sudden police brutality case)?

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

@@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.

[@Ntnt11]

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.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

@@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.
