    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.

    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?

          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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
