A lot of them aren't even real military members but civilians posing as them for a staged video.
That one is obviously one of those

Is this funny? Maybe there is a community for shitty attempts at being funny.
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
When do they start involving explosives like the gender reveal parties?
There's this guy on YouTube, brad podray, who makes fun of all the staged videos like this
Doesn't this make him like, part of the problem?
I'd like to double the problem and give it to the next person
"I let my pregnant wife think I was dead to the point of her planning and attending my funeral so I could make a TikTok reveal video"
Okay then, psychopath
They should start doing horror versions of these where she notices someone sneaking up behind and stabs him.
