Tragedy has again struck a famous Silicon Valley family. Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has passed away, according to social media posts by her husband, Dennis Troper, and by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Wrote Troper on Facebook earlier Friday night, “It is with profound sadness that I share the news of Susan Wojcicki passing.
Ah man. Not to say she was great, but it felt like she tried to limit enshitification in hindsight. It could have been a lot worse
I have no love for the CEO class but no one deserves to go that young.
Fuck Cancer.
Well cancer sucks in general so my sympathy is to her family I guess? Otherwise I don’t give a shit. YouTube sucks.
…left us today after 2 years of living with non-small cell lung cancer.
So thats why she stepped down huh
YouTube has only gotten worse so i can’t say i particularly care. i hope her successor isn’t any worse, but i expect they will be.
Fyi, she euh, stepped down from youtube in feb 2023. She had nothing to do with youtube in the last year :')
YouTube is getting worse and worse, but it’s not like it was great until 2023
All free services are all just waiting to monetise.
The default is shittiness. They just play nice to build users.
No, but her successor has been in charge for at least a year now haha.
Op was talking about her successor like they were yet to be appointed
Oh fuck.
I worked for Susan, I stan very few tech people but she was fucking great.
Her kids are at least in their teens by now, but wow that sucks.
One of her kids also died last yesr. Sad asf
I hate hearing the term “passed away” used for someone who died decades before their time.
That’s very young for a rich person.
Very young for anyone.
