haha I saw some of that nonsense on Facebook this morning. Morons...
One of the partners in my plane is a 25 year retired 737 captain and we got to talking about this about a month ago over lunch - complete nonsense.

Pattern Altitude
Cool!! I imagined they would be bigger than that and more towards the wing tips.

Final Approach
The videographer did a good job of capturing the vortices made visible by condensated moisure in the air. It's not uncommon to see the trails visible on moist, humid days. It often prompts questions of whether aircraft are dumping fuel on approach.
I got a good side view of one landing at DTW in high humidity a few years back. You could see the airflow over the wings and the vortices. It was a good lesson in aerodynamics.
