I hate when people post stories (often with pictures) about some sad or amazing or whatever story, and they make it seem like it's about them. These are always written in the first person, but if you read all the way to the bottom it will say "credit: somePerson", or something like that. Sometimes it's phrased to make it seem like it's a photo credit, which is the worst.
These stories get all sorts of traction and comments because people misunderstand that they're not the OP's story (and honestly, many of them are probably complete fabrications.
I wish there were a way to report such comments to LinkedIn, either as downright deceptive or specifically as a type of 'stolen valor'. Is it reportable as misinformation? Maybe so. But LinkedIn probably loves this stuff because it increases engagement and makes people feel good when they use LinkedIn.
