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.
left us today after 2 years of living with non-small cell lung cancer.
So thats why she stepped down huh
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
Well cancer sucks in general so my sympathy is to her family I guess? Otherwise I don’t give a shit. YouTube sucks.
That’s very young for a rich person.
Very young for anyone.
I hate hearing the term “passed away” used for someone who died decades before their time.
YouTube has only gotten worse so i can’t say i particularly care, i hope her successor isn’t any worse.
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
