போதும்சார் நீங்கள் யார் என்று சின்ன குழந்தைகளுக்கும் தெரியும், நீங்கள் பார்க்காத வெற்றி புகழ் இல்லை ஆகையால் இம்மாதிரியான தவறுகளை செய்து சாம்பாதித்து வைத்த பேர் புகழையெல்லாம் இழந்துவிடவேண்டாம் 🙏

#Hoote app is to talk to people and express everything directly… If you have a problem please don't waste time and just leave, Mr.Anees. Thank you!

— Rajini Rasigan (@RajiniRasigan82) November 10, 2021

So what? When people can use Twitter / FB / YT etc to express condolences.., Why not Hoote then.? After all it's a Social Networking platform…

Don't have to get shocked., Stay open 🙏👍

— ♚Emperor AJITH♚ (@I_m_Vedhalam) November 10, 2021

The purpose of hoote app is that you can express your views via audio, especially for people who don't know to read or write. You want condolences to be tweeted on Twitter only? Why not if it's something that's from his family too? Perhaps, you need to have a broader perspective.
