RIP Susan, your tenure on YouTube might’ve not been the best for creators, but the effects of your tenure created my late childhood and adolescence. You will definitely be missed.

Looked up her name on Twitter to see what people were saying about this, that was a mistake 🙄

A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason, she was far from perfect, but all things considered I think she did fine as CEO and I never got the hate. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.

To be fair, not at all. Someone in her position would be making broad decisions, such as “should we have a downvote button,” and spending her time courting advertisers and handling the whiny board of directors, who are mostly geriatric babies.

She was wealthy and in a position of power over something they cared about, which she managed in a way they didn’t agree with. Some people have a hard time seeing people who are very distant from them and not part of their particular tribe as human beings.

Nevertheless, she was a human being, and presumably she had loved ones who are now grieving her loss. I don’t want to think about what this vitriolic spew is doing to them.

It’s fine to not like someone. There’s plenty of people in the world that I’m not a huge fan of. But I’d never advocate for or celebrate their deaths.

I’m also struggling to understand what her being “fully vaxxed” has to do with lung cancer… 🤦🏻

Anyway, rest in peace Susan Wojcicki.

Using Twitter was the mistake.

I’m seriously wondering what your intentions were when you did that.

Oh shit, this is the same person whose son died of an overdose at UC berkeley not long ago. In a sense I’m not surprised she passed, some people die of a broken heart.

I’m guessing her cancer is one of the factors that drove her son to OD…just speculating, obviously. Her husband must be fucking destroyed, this is awful.

A lot of times it’s just an accident.

She ignored community feedback (I want customized channels back!) and turned YouTube into the dopamine riddled mess it is today.

Still, fuck cancer. My condoleances to her survivors.

Maybe she just is loading a new ad?
