I have no dog in this game - literally no opinion on what kind of person she was.
I use YouTube, even though I don't particularly like it, much like every other Google product. Not sure how much of what I dislike on YouTube is her fault or not,and it doesn't really matter anyway. It is not like I hold any hopes of YouTube becoming any better now.
But I find this kind of comment curious. Someone noteworthy and controversial dies, critical comments are sure to follow.
Happened when people such as Kissinger or Chomsky died. No one was saying "show some respect to the person who died, save your opinions for another day". It would be fairly ridiculous to say so.
- meiraleal 2y agoDon't kill Chomsky, he is still alive
- surgical_fire 2y agoOh lol. I thought he was dead. The point still stands
- quonn 2y agoThe point doesn‘t stand, because you made a claim about what people supposedly said or didn’t say after Chomsky passed away. And he didn‘t even pass.
- peterfirefly 2y agoA lot of people thought he did die and they did say things about him.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoThis is pedantry at its finest. You can remove the name and still have a point left there. Just pretend the comment only said Kissinger, it’s really not that hard.
- meiraleal 2y agoHonestly if you are 50% wrong about a point you are trying to make that doesn't look great.
- fngjdflmdflg 2y agoIt does, because people thought he died and commented about what he will be remembered for. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40720876 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40720876 - We Remember Noam Chomsky, the Intellectual and Moral Giant https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40721208 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40721208 - Linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky dies at age 95
- meiraleal 2y agoHe is living in Brazil, but unfortunately it seems to be his ending days too. Every other week there is a fake news about his death.
