Synopsis
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
A festival sold with supermodels served a cheese sandwich. A YouTuber fed a homeless man toothpaste and went to court. A model announced her own death, then turned up alive the next day.
In Anything for the Views, Kyleigh Sullivan, author of Raised on Camera, tells the true stories of creators who chased attention too far, and of the strangers, fans and customers who paid the price. Every case is drawn from court rulings, regulators' findings and the public record.
Inside, you'll hear:
• Fyre Festival: the orange square, the investor fraud and a six-year prison sentence
• Belle Gibson: the wellness star whose cancer never existed
• Dangerous stunts: a rooftop climber's last climb, a fake bank robbery and a gun drawn on an innocent driver
• Logan Paul's forest video: the upload that should never have been posted
• A death hoax: the cancer awareness stunt that left fans grieving someone still alive
• Union Square: one live-stream giveaway, thousands of fans and 65 arrests
• Hidden deals: the gaming stars who didn't say they owned the site, the detox tea, and a giveaway a regulator said was unfair
• CryptoZoo: a game people paid for that never arrived
• After the scandal: the apology video, and the creator who chose to walk away
Every story ends with What the Record Shows, keeping proven findings apart from allegations, and many include Red Flags to help you spot the next one.
Fair, carefully sourced and made for listening, this book is for anyone who scrolls, shares or buys from a creator, and every parent wondering what their kids are watching.
Press play, and find out what people will do for the views.
