I disagree with that. Content creators need to adapt to survive with the modern algorithms. Those algorithms are trash and the censorship behind it can eat a fat one, but the creators are just trying to get paid.

Now, bringing that self-censorship into real life, into casual conversation with friends, off of platforms that are monetized… that is what annoys me. Not because they are difficult to read, that’s just an evolution of slang, but because it muddies the language and weakens our ability to communicate. “Unalive” instead of suicide or killed makes it seem less serious, less graphic, at least to me. And that’s the whole point of why they are using replacements in monetized content, because it is safer, but sometimes language needs to be harsher.
