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.
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.
Damn, that’s rough. I hope her family well. 56 is too young.
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.
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.

I’m seriously wondering what your intentions were when you did that.
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.
Using Twitter was the mistake.
WTF!? So young!? That’s awful!
WTF I had no idea she was unwell. No matter how bad youtube was handled she didnt deserve this.
She made some poor decisions, but that doesn’t mean she deserved to be finished off by cancer.
I kinda miss the time she was CEO of YouTube, the chaos she brought to the website was just absolutely hilarious and funny. And now that Susan is gone, we’ll never experience that era of imperfections again. Not that I prefer it over the early years of YouTube, it’s trash by comparison, but still, it’s the FUN kind of trash. YouTube today is the painful kind of trash, especially with content farms basically dominating the website.
Fuck cancer. Also, now that I said all that, I’m kind of expecting a stream of downvotes.
1- you’re on Lemmy, that’s gonna be a common view and not get down votes 2- who cares if you do? Is it worth mentioning? Is it worth me writing this comment?
You… probably made me second guess what I said on that last part. It really wasn’t worth mentioning.
I feel like a dick for saying it, but it felt like a reddit “thanks for the gold” thing. Also, while downvotes may show your opinion doesn’t align with a community, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t have the opinion or it’s wrong. Though it at least deserves reflection of you aren’t trolling and respect that community.
Maybe she just is loading a new ad?
