Tweet nothings

WHy do celebrities feel the need to rush to put their feelings on social media when they hear of the death of a well-known person?

It is beyond bad manners. Why can’t they just send the family a card or letter, or make a phone call to convey their sympathy?

But it’s nothing to do with the deceased, it’s all about getting a slice of publicity for themselves.
