    I’m so sick of how common censoring is becoming on the internet

      I guess advertisers are at fault. With most youtubers censoring themselves to avoid getting demonetized, it simply spreads to other aspects of the internet.

        The youngins are going to think that’s just the way it is. Half the comments I make on YouTube are removed. It’s crazy too. Someone being a bully and saying the n word, I reply, gone immediately while the n word comment just hangs out there forever.

            Well thanks for getting my hopes up. I went into the profile looking for penis and all I got was cat pics D:<

                You’re brilliant. I didn’t see it at first, but I see it now. Would you like a picture of my penis? Actually, I’m just going to send it. Check ur email.

              You wouldn’t want to see an angry seal penis anyway. Or maybe you would? You dodged a bullet. Or maybe you didn’t?

              I have the most typical penis. Nothing special. I’ll describe it if you want. Just your average everyday penis. Now you’re curious. I’m sorry.

              I’ll describe it.

              Tip like a mushroom, shaft like a stem. Balls where the mycelium would normally be, but not buried. Just hanging out above ground. Mostly black hair, a few grays scattered in. A few inches from an asshole with a prominent hemorrhoid scar. Mostly soft, but occasionally not so soft. Has produced more offspring than is typical. Vasectomy incoming.

              Hope that helps.

          It’s so weird, I’ve seen people’s comments removed on my videos for totally innocuous things but if you go to any big creator every comment reply is the craziest shit being spammed by obvious bots.

            Yeah it makes no sense. I figured it was key words, but not that.

            Any time I type words out to add accent it gets removed. Something like, “Mae an muh paw leesuned ta nuthin but cawntry win i’z growin uhp.” Always removed.

        But there are no advertisers here. Just a lazy OP who didn’t want to spend 1 minute looking for the original image.

          Yes, potentially. What I’m saying is that there’s a culture of censorship on Youtube, which spreads to other websites, even though they don’t have the influence by advertisers. So Youtube’s culture of censorship is causing a culture of self-censorship in other parts of the web.

        is this satire? because censoring is everywhere over corpo media (platforms). bad words are not advertiser/family friendly.

        not saying that its not pushed by tiktok and lemmy.ml, but those are by far not the first or only ones

        ow and ofc, puritanism is also at fault (maybe eveb at the core of it)

      But it could be anything! Try filling it in like a mad libs! “I send her dog pics”, “she sends me pics of her computer”, she tells me she would go behind her boyfriends back and fight me"

      I guess that saves the post from having to be flagged nsfw. It is annoying, but understandable.
