By the time the dead outnumbered the living on Martin Vale’s friends list, Facebook had stopped calling them accounts. They were Presences now. That was the marketing language. PRESENCE MODE™ rolled out after the third big mortality wave, when every platform discovered grief was stickier than outrage and easier to monetize than joy.
