Guys, why did this video just destroy me?

A dude made this AI video comparing McDonald's of the past to the McDonald's of today, and it hurts deep in your soul.

While the caption calls this the 1980s, this is clearly an amalgamation 1950s and 60s, 70s, and 80s McDonald's. And it's definitely set in a different world.

It makes you nostalgic for a world that no longer exists and when it cuts to today it makes you angry at the world we're being forced to live in.

Why is obvious AI slop doing this to me?
