    One theory is that it’s done intentionally to farm engagement from people pointing it out. Also I think most mainstream platforms heavily push down in the algorithm content that isn’t sanitised. This is to make the platform more appealing to advertisers because the platform’s userbase is the product.

    As for why the words are partly censored instead of completely censored I’m not sure. I’d guess it’s to game the algorithm while also making the word completely obvious.

    Either way, if this is the behaviour that you engage in on a platform, that platform is terrible and you are an attention obsessed idiot.







  • Extreme paranoia about being pushed down in the algorithm because of puritanical social media platforms not liking certain words would be my guess. Bathroom = toilet = penis/vagina/ass = demotion in the algorithm.

    I can’t prove it but that’s my theory. Either way, if a platform punishes you for saying innocent words, and you are obsessed with maximising the reach of your shitposts, then the platform is shit and you are an idiot.
