"The Ashley Madison Affair"…

Has anyone seen the documentary on Hulu ? If you don’t recall.
Ashley Madison was the website specifically for married people looking for other married people to "date". The site offered partners and privacy, and millions all over the world used the services.

Then it was hacked.

There are three episodes, and it’s fascinating, a bit shocking and sometimes sad.

I am not familiar with the documentary.

What I remember is that it turned out that the site was inflating the number of women by using a lot of fake profiles, to make the site more attractive to gullible men.

What was the hacking about? Did someone expose the list of subscribers?
@DrWatson Yes ! Worldwide. Names, addresses, what they paid for, photos they posted, all exposed. 🙁

I remember this. Something also told me to check my husband’s email at the time and sure enough…
@Notladylike Oh, wow. 🙁
@bijouxbroussard Yeah 🥶

I do recall hearing and reading about the 'charming' site, hack, and exposure of many members of it. I'd be interested in watching it, but don't have Hulu.

I saw that while scrolling through Hulu this evening, but I thought it may be too sad/upsetting for me.

@itsok same…” to know or not to know” which would you rather be?

Back when I was dating one guy told me he was on that site (divulging) but at the time I didn’t know what it was… I had to look it up later and I thought,”does he think he is impressing me with this information” hahah I guess he was trying to say something

I've heard of the site and the angry users whose lives were outed/doxed..sad yeah but shocking? The modern world put the adult in adultery..no hulu
@bookerdana Things about the person running it. But I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

I just got Hulu to work. I really think it's kind of said really....I think it's worth talking about why people cheat....particularly if so many people did it. 37 million people is like 10% of ALL the people in the US....

I avoided for pay sites like I would avoid a plague. That's as far as I got into it. Men had to pay.

@bijouxbroussard

I should add to this. Anyone going on to a for pay site of any type is opening themselves up for hacking.

Yet the nature of the site makes it even more tempting to hackers. Your credit card identifies you.
@DeWayfarer I found the documentary about the site interesting. I never went near the site itself.

@bijouxbroussard having been on many controversial dating sites. I'm familiar with some of them. You would be surprised who is on some sites still after even I deactivated my account decades ago as a waste of time.

Most to me are totally a waste of time. Mostly scams.
Which parts were fascinating or shocking? Certainly not some people wanting to cheat
@BeefySenpie More about the person running it back then. But I don’t want to spoil anything for someone who might want to watch it.
I’m curious and will probably check it out
I know of one marriage personally that this site helped to end

I vaguely remember that going on and probably will watch it to jog my memory

I added it to my list yesterday and am planning to watch it.
originnone · 61-69, M
Oooooh. I'll watch it now....spoke too soon...my Hulu isn't working
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
I gotta watch it.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
I don't have hulu... So can't watch it. 😑
@Mellowgirl Understood. I don’t have Netflix anymore, so when someone mentions a show on that system, I can’t watch that.
