The criticism gained traction on the microblogging website and sparked a flurry of reactions. While some agreed and criticised Oscar Mbo, others disagreed and highlighted that people grieve differently.
Here are some of the comments:
@ilovezizo_ argued:
“We grieve differently, guys. I personally go blank. I don’t even know what’s happening and who is there. I just cry one way. And it’s ok to accept that some people are stronger.”
@Mmalenyalo_ said:
“Honestly, that’s what I keep asking myself. This girl was making a vlog burying her son. Everyone said tsek you unalived him wena.”
@Thabi_kaNkosi shared:
“I guess you’re not crying or devastated all the time, at some point you are numb and you continue like normal, take vids and laugh with fam and friends. It happens, but the posting as content ayi I can’t excuse it.”
@TMNLMNKRL argued:
“Grief doesn’t wear one uniform. Some mourn in silence; others hold onto photos and videos. When the funeral is over and everyone goes home, those memories might be the only comfort left. You never truly know what keeps someone holding on.”
@m_kobene criticised:
“These creatures are fake and grasping for social media likes!”
@_AfricanButter said:
“When you’re used to vlogging, it becomes 2nd nature, so this is a part of the normal day-to-day.”
@Limpooi17 remarked:
“Honestly, I ask myself the same question. Funerals are meant to be about grief, reflection and supporting families through pain and loss, but lately it feels like some people attend more for fashion, attention, and content. Maybe it's for Insurance payouts 😌”
