A Meta engineer started filming videos with strangers after burning out — and accidentally saved a Brooklyn bakery from closing.
He walked in wearing Meta glasses, asked the owner to recommend something, and posted the video. It racked up 1.5 million views and 120,000 likes. After that, people started showing up at the bakery. They even began raising money for it — for a freezer and other upgrades.
The owner says that without that lucky encounter, the business would have lasted only a few more months at most.
