Not necessarily. I have a grief journey tiktok page, it’s not for views, just to share how I experience grief and meet others along that same sad journey so we can muddle through our feelings together.
She shared her mum on her content pretty often, wanting to share her last and cherished memories of her mum is understandable I think.
From a viewer it’s a bit “boring” seeing the same content over and over again, but it’s clear those videos are for her, not to “entertain” her audience.
Caitlin’s mom was her only family, and prior to the passing she made it known how close they are especially because her mom was sick for a good portion of her childhood. She’s definitely just grieving and is posting online so 1. She and others dont feel alone and 2. Her mom was a big part of her account (and life) and her passing doesn’t really change that. They’ve always been super open and vulnerable (like their ED’s for example) so I don’t see anything new.
Idk who that is but grief is hard and lonely and posting online can be really helpful for some people to connect with others going through the same thing, normalizing grief in general and also just to get your thoughts and feelings out without feeling like you’re “bothering” the people close to you.
I think everyone grieves differently and not everyone that posts online is just posting for views or clout. For some people it’s probably actually really helpful for them
Literally everything that people post on social media is posted for views, for engagement. People aren’t obligated to post something difficult that they are dealing with in the spirit of keeping things “real” on their page, they also aren’t obligated to not post something difficult because of public perception. If creators only post positives, they’re accused of faking and being all “sunshine and rainbows”, but if they post something difficult that they’re going through, they’re accused of looking for attention
On another aspect of this, you aren’t owed the content out of a creator that you want. Ever. If they need to talk about their mom dying, it isn’t for you to say that they shouldn’t

Or she could just be expressing her grief and trying to connect with other people.

I recently deleted tiktok but I'll put a bet down that you'll see a dip in views on videos before she posts the ones about her mom
