It never ceases to amaze me people do that without any prompting. Why? What is gained? We are meat puppets who occasionally shit, piss, fuck, bleed, and die. Use a thesaurus if you must, but leave the asterisks out of it.
It also became a weird cargo cult thing. Only one platform had issues with killing, but now videos everywhere are captioned with unaliving. We can say shit and ass!
It disgusts me but at least I understand it on platforms like YouTube which penalize those who don't self-censor but it has no purpose here.
I find it worrying how easily people accept this newspeak and spread it of their own free will.
