Earlier quoted context omitted.

An accidental drug overdose on campus at UC Berkeley. One wonders if his mom having terminal cancer was a factor in his overdoing it. And I cannot imagine how news like that would hit a mother with cancer, when the only thing left for her is legacy. Truly tragic.

Don't be so quick to judge. Your mother dying of cancer at such a young age is hard. Everyone deals with it their own way.

Next time you're thinking "I wish I was the one who had made a billion dollars with my startup idea", remember that only health and family matter, and to have fun while you're alive. RIP.

Edit: some people misinterpreted my comment. I'm just one anonymous voice on the Internet, but am deeply saddened by the passing of Susan Wojcicki, who meant a lot to me as one of the many people who crossed paths with her professionally. I wish her family strength in a very trying moment. She did not deserve this. I've not met another business leader demonstrate everyday kindness to the degree that she did.

Her untimely passing is also a reminder to those of us who sometimes look up to such successful businesspeople that we should all appreciate our luck to be alive and enjoy it to the fullest, as I hope that she did as well, and as I'm sure that she'd prefer we did. RIP

When you look at X today and Reddit in years past, YouTube was well run. And her legacy will be the incredible and I would argue positive impact it has had on society.

Agreed Youtube is still my goto platform for entertainment and it is not a total cesspool like X - she left behind a great legacy never mind the fake controversies stoked by some content creators to get clicks.

There is always Kick and Rumble if you did not like it.

Not the day to argue about this, but this is definitely not the canonical opinion on her work for youtube
