    Guys ‘ruining’ of some entertainment platform is nowhere near worthy of that much saltiness to wish someone ded genuinely

    Some salt adds spice to life but too much and you just look all dry and wrinkled. We gotta have some kind of standards

    May her shitshow of a legacy, that is the fucked up YT of today, riddled with ads and no downvotes, die next.

    Cancer sucks, not wishing that on anyone, well except warmongering cunts and a few others ruining our lives and cultures.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

      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.

        You know how vaccine skeptics are. They think the COVID jab is a Jewish plot or some similar bullshit designed to kill everyone who takes it.

      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.

        I’ve never been a CEO of a company worth billions, and statistically, the likelihood of you being one is very very low. The truth is you have no idea what she did in her day to day life. I think the reality of it is she was probably working way over 40 hours a week because of the expectations from the alphabet shareholders. If she is paid millions, as an investor, id want the CEO to be working their ass off to give me a good return on my investment

          These are billionaire CEOs, not artists. There’s nothing particularly mysterious about their work, which you can learn all about from the many, many self-fellating autobiographies their ghost writers churn out every year.

      A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason,

      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.

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

    Fuck Cancer.

    I don’t care about anything else about her right now. Everyone in the comments using her death as an opportunity to complain about their YouTube experience can go fuck themselves. Now isn’t the fucking time.

    56 is too young.

    Just saw a post about this on TikTok and every one in the comments where cracking jokes and basically saying it was good she died. Couldn’t believe it. Whether or not you agree with how she ran YouTube, there’s no reason to be so cruel to a parent who died just after having to bury their own child. Glad Lemmy is being more thoughtful and respectful about this horrible situation.

    RIP. Even though she got a lot of shit from the youtube community, at least she was a bit better than what youtube currently has.
