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.
