      It’s a thing that has started to appear because of mainstream social media deleting post with “bad vibes”. Kill, suicide, and such vocabulary are actively repressed to “ensure happiness”

        That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing ‘r*pe’ or ‘k!ll’ isn’t the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.

          It’s more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.

            Yea YouTube and TikToks automated demonetization is definitely a big part to blame for this stupid trend. It also annoys me as an enjoyer of YouTube murder porn.

            It’s especially dumb because there is some extremely heinous stuff on YouTube that is still monetized, and when a video is demonetized for a channel they still play ads all over it, too.

        Yeah they don’t like when people talk about mental health issues. Go kill yourself in private and stop getting your bad vibes all over my nice, clean website.
