Weird article. As others have mentioned, it uses the Fyre Festival as a hook for an article about insurance, but the Fyre disaster doesn't have anything to do with insurance, and the article doesn't even try to make the case that it did.
Also, the article tries to make the case that festival insurance is expensive, but the actual costs quoted in the article seem...not that bad? Basically a few percentage on top of the ticket price. They multiply that number by a million, saying that if you had a festival that big, the absolute amount of money would be large, but that doesn't really mean anything. Lots of numbers are big after you multiply them by a million. Presumably the organizers care about the cost as a percentage of revenue.
