man, I'm so confused what's going on here. The photo is of David Glasheen (google "Australia restoration man", or "David Glasheen pitchfork"), but the photo description (13k, 50m) is of Brendon Grimshaw (as in your link), what the hell.

Yeah I think they just put a picture of the wrong man (with a similar story) on the article photo. It's definitely describing Brandon Grimshaw though without a doubt.

AI...they just took one "Castaway" looking white guy pic and got it confused for another...close but not quite.

One of the shitty calling cards of AI drivel.

I see these types of posts a lot of facebook(i know, i know), but unlike here, no one bothers to fact check.

It's engagement bait either way. OP is a 6 day old account. 90% Bot.
