The need to avoid censorship has kinda made it part of the lexicon. I know "suicide" isn't censored here, but it's just become habit these days because it is at many places

It's a bad habit. Really fucking disgusting. Why don't we just say "sewer slide" too

Well, it's spread like a virus because people seeking to monetize their content (not making a value judgement there) found that TikTok and maybe YouTube, etc. will demonetize or limit monetization if content contains certain phrases and words. Which is insanely fucked up dystopian shit. If it was in a movie people would recognize how absurd it is that Google essentially has banned the words suicide or rape or Gaza and even words like Zionist... solely for their own desire to sell maximum ads to maximum advertisers to run on endless Mr Beast copycat content. It's beyond a farce at this point. I can't even call that accurate description of reality "clown world." I mean, what the fuck...

I guess the point is... if you aren't making money off social media, which is most of us, your censorship is probably not necessary. And if it is necessary in order for you to post... probably past time for a new platform. But if people do choose to stay at such platforms all I can hope is they keep the censorship stuff there too. It feels sort of disrespectful in an intangible way to call a rape victim a "victim or grape." Even though I know the reasoning behind doing so... like, come on...

Its not just about money. The algorithns will burry your video if you include certain words/topics.

If your goal is to reach as many people as possible, money or no money, you'll be incentivised to self censor.

Looks like hexbear removed some of what you said. I wouldn't have even know what you were referring to if you didn't say "victim of grape"

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 4 weeks ago

I still don't know what they're referring to. How is a grape gonna... what are you talking about?
