A couple things:

1) people calling out the name-searching of customers as a "witch hunt because we're all sinners" - F that. We all have choices. Many of us don't make choices that hurt and betray people we (allegedly) love.

2) the Christian social media guy calling the site's existence as "evil." Dude, no one made you sign up and cheat on your wife. Own up to your own choices. Ashley Madison still exists because of willing customers, not because the creators are evil. I don't blame the site for existing - no one's forced to sign up. There is no such thing as "satan" - take accountability for your own hurtful choices.

3) I have no ill judgement for couples that have open marriages/relationships, or for people that get divorced. I will always have ill thoughts over people who cheat. It isn't the physical act - it's the deception, betrayal, and outright disregard for the person they say they care about.

The documentary was too soft on the men who signed up.

They chose to focus on a guy who committed suici!!de and a younger guy who “confessed” and was forgiven by his wife. And really played up the “evil” CEO. Yes, the CEO was a horrible person but these married men on the site going behind their wives backs are also horrible. The betrayal, not to mention unknowingly exposing them to STIs. Very likely many of the men who signed up for the site also did other things with hookers, etc. too.

I’m surprised they didn’t throw Josh Duggar in there. He had moved to DC and was starting a political career as a lobbyist for the FRC. Ashley Madison was his second scandal, which leaked not long after reports he’d molested his sisters came to light. Now he’s serving time for having CSA material.

+1 that seems like some low hanging fruit the producers decided to skip right over

That guy had some serious issues. I mean, surprising your wife with news of her own pregnancy—while filming the entire thing of course—and then immediately blasting it out on social media for validation is very very strange.

Indeed.

I also got the feeling that it was fake. I mean, why didn’t she flush the toilet? I know there are some people who don’t, for environmental reasons. But I don’t think that’s what was going on there. I think that was a planned video.

She ended up miscarrying a few days after the video was posted, which the documentary seemed to gloss over, because it was another moment when their channel was called out for being fake. The couple seem desperate for content, which is the only reason I can imagine agreeing to this documentary and dragging their family through reliving such a humiliating moment.

The dude clearly has more issues than Ashley Madison.

They’ve been showing up in my reels! They’re putting out all sorts of content about being in the documentary. They’re total whack jobs.

They still post marital content??

The whole thing was basically about the fat, gay guy who used to work there and the pathetic YouTube couple with the wife who apparently doesn't flush the toilet after she pees. They didn't even go into all of those government employees which I would have preferred. Such a waste of time.

I don't think I know any government employees, but there are certainly more than enough Holier Than Thou types on the list!

There were millions of .mil and .gov accounts!!

Yes. The posts I saw were about them telling their oldest child about the doc and one of them in bed watching it together. Bizarre.

The most perplexing thing in that whole documentary was that frozen lip-sync video and the fact that it brought that guy so much joy. Who is watching videos like that?!? Genuinely please explain if you can!

She.might've gotten an account to search for/spy on her husband.

This. I learned about AM from this site and women posting here were getting accounts to look for their husbands. Am was discussed here constantly before the leak. I swear there was a post every week with someone railing about the site’s existence all before the leak.

Aren’t they all?

Bible thumpers are the number one pedo group. Number one group to support a molester over a child victim

Not Drag Queens

Oh and how they cheat….

I mean, given what josh is serving 12 years of prison for, investigators describe some things they found In his possession as the worst they’ve seen - I shudder just typing that - Being on Ashley Madison doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

There is a whole documentary series on the duggars that goes deep into Josh. No need to hijack this documentary.

I mean, they did mention twice he was caught on there. Not like they completely ignored it. Agree with other posters the documentary was pretty lackluster and should have covered more ground.

Going to a prostitute is being a human trafficker?

Maybe they should’ve mentioned it, but I thought the more interesting thing was the every day average people who were caught up in the mix and they really didn’t spend any time on that. I would’ve preferred more on that than Josh Dugger, which you can find hours and hours of content on if you look between documentaries and news reports.

Was anyone surprised that Josh was on On a creepy website? No. They should have spent more time on other people like the Christian couple IMO.

When they are 18-19 yes. They are likely coerced. I don’t think all sex workers are there of their own free will.
The way he phrased it… I want or give me 2 18 year-olds or whatever, it just sounded like a big business and connections to human trafficking. If not human trafficking, what do you call it?

I also thought they hi ted/alluded to the fact that he would then use these girls on the site, they would be some of the “fake profiles”.
