There's some truth to that. But it would be a gradual increase. Not like 2016's line up of dead people, that was so much stronger than the line ups from past few years basically out of coincidence.

I doubt 2017 will be filled with deaths of the same magnitude as Prince, Fidel Castro, Muhammad Ali, George Michael, Carrie Fisher and David Bowie. I know it's kind of cold to evaluate and compare the magnitude of recently dead people, but I want to look at these claims that certain ERB users are making from an objective point.

As for your second paragraph, I agree. I'm not going to crash the comment with "Who?", because that's not respectful. But I also think it's problematic that 10% of the comments here are about which person died today. I feel like some of these comments are made by people who don't even know the celebs, and just wanted to be the one to put the comment out.
