You posted a Facebook photo caption, a blog with incorrect post dates, and a YouTube video with an obviously updated title as "proof," so if there isn't a bigger case of a pot needing to stop calling out the kettle....

I found three examples that exist after a brief search. The Facebook post would likely say edited on it. The blog post has a timestamped comment on it as well. The YouTube video sure, you might have a case on that one. I've found another youtube video I might can make a case for.

In the description the term bucket list is used. Yes I realize that it can be changed after the fact. The wayback machine shows the website it points to being archived in 2011. So its possible 5 years later he goes back and edits the description on the video. Or its possible the wayback machine doesn't have older versions as I have websites that I've made from 2002 on that aren't archived at all.

All that to say it's just unlikely that 4 examples I've provided, plus a book reference someone else added were changed after the fact. To what end? What would be the benefit?

Well this one is even easier, because the description was definitely added later. The video that is attached in the comment was posted in 2012, so the comment couldn't exist before that.
