As sad as it is, it's no different from any country at any other point in time.
In the past it was letters, postcards, phone calls, now it's just tictok AND youtube, facebook etc.

In Spain happened the same in the from the 50s to the 70s with thousands of people emigrating to France, Germany, and other European countries, talking about how well they could live and how they can eat every day, but excluding how they live in mass in barracks away from local people, and how most of local people made an effort to avoid them to integrate (like making them go out of bars and buses).
