It's one more of those meaningless demonstrations of support that social media has generalized.
Communicating that "we're all in this together" is as effective as a giving "like" to the Facebook page of a person dying from cancer raising money for their treatment.
The person who hits that "like" surely feels better about themselves and sees social media as a facilitator of this effortless moral redemption.
PS: The individuals building these systems are aware of this.
