    No this is the fake “heart wrenching” side of Facebook, for your older relatives. These videos were real once, 15 years ago when we all watched the soldier come home as a surprise, but algorithms came in, monetization came in, and now anyone can just manufacture a fake moment just like that! Of course people get bored, so gotta amp it up. Not only are they home but they rose from the grave! Amazing!

    And even though it’s fake it gets attention, and likes, and people say it’s fake and other people just comment “AMEN JESUS” and the algorithm promotes it, the people who made it get a few bucks, and they do it again in a week
