    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 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.
