Nobody can deny it because it’s true. Everyone on that specific thread already got the news and only in rare cases relatives or the victims themselves see the comments. If it’s even gonna help them feel better is another slim chance in that case. Now, you could argue that it "boosts visibility with the added engagement. But I really doubt that’s anything such a commenter has in mind. It is for themselves mostly.

But I can’t let the world forget how sads I am.
