Who cares? You better care. She was one of the most prominent figures in the history of Google, Wikipedia's favorite search engine and a major supporter of the WMF. She ran YouTube for several years, making her easily one of the most important persons in the history of streaming video.

The Wojcickis are drilled deeply into the history of Google/Alphabet. Google's first servers were set up in Susan's garage in 1998. Her husband still works at Google. Her sister Anne was married to Google cofounder Sergey Brin (and divorced his ass after he was caught porking a Google employee on the side). Their mother Esther, a retired schoolteacher with few qualifications to advise a tech-focused firm, was hired by Creative Commons, a nonprofit with very close ties to Google, as a member of their board of directors. She soon became the Chair of the board, albeit not for very long. (A fact not mentioned in her Wikipedia article.) Esther remains on the "Advisory Board" of Creative Commons today.....right next to Jimbo Wales.

Nepotism much? Logrolling much?

And now for my question: why did a middle-aged woman who worked in an office and (apparently) didn't smoke die of lung cancer? I'm not the only one asking.

I dunno.. I know several people of a similar age who've passed away from cancer. Some have gone very quickly and others fought it for years but still died others survived. :flamingbanana:

Is there a conspiracy?

It's possible that long COVID advocates are right that COVID isn't just a flu and causes a lot of complications to a human body. Look at the Olympics and see how many athletes have been suffering unusual health problems.

Hell if I know, but it doesn't matter. This is just another "data point" that paranoiacs will toss onto the pile of "deep-state-ism".

The Wojcickis are extremely wealthy thanks to their early involvement in Google. And stock options therein. They could afford the best possible medical treatment. So why did Susan die of lung cancer?

Another famous "data point". Covid is a strange, slippery kind of virus. And the vaccines created to date have been so-so in efficacy, partly because they were rushed into production after governments waved satchels of cash at corporations. Better vaccines might be coming--this isn't something that can be tossed together in a fortnight. Recombinant RNA technology is involved, bleeding-edge. It took more than 60 years to eradicate polio in most of the world, and oral polio is a relatively easy vaccine to make.

Censorship of YouTube increased greatly during her time there.
she helped transform YouTube into the place where the next generation of celebrities and influencers are born
Is this a positive or a negative achievement?
