        You know what pisses me off? All that censorship of d*ath and r*pe and “unalived himself” isn’t to make it safer for people like to remove trigger words or something, it’s that the YouTube algorithm would realize their content is adult content otherwise and make it so they can’t show it to kids.

        These fucking asshole influencers wanted to get as much money as possible, and wanted to talk about really sensitive topics and ensure they got ad money from all age groups.

        So this whole thing started as a predatory trick

      The concept of death is not palatable to corpo-fascist advertisers. Death does not often sell products, and so, innocuous memes that are posted to websites need to have advertising-hostile language censored, in order to be seen.

      Would that we all literally murder billionaires, cause there’s thousands of millions of us and four hundred of them, but I do take comfort in the thought that this is precisely what keeps Peter Thiel awake at night.
