    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. It can’t be easy to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.

      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.

      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.

      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.
