I’m tired of microblog screenshots that self-censor 😕
Also that’s cool. I’m pretty sure I cannot smell ants. But it’s also possible there are ants everywhere I go, so I can’t discern what part of the background smells are the ants.

I was watching “deep dives” on Youtube yesterday and was getting confused by all the censoring. Even the word “sex” was censored, and like… what? Not just SA (which I understand censoring), but sex itself? In a video ostensibly designed for an adult (or at least teenage) audience?
It’s hard to follow a story when words get censored that you don’t expect to get censored. In my mind I think something much worse is being said, and have to pause and rewind to ensure I understood correctly. The best part is, the creator wasn’t even from the US, land of the puritans. I expect Europeans not to be afraid of sex, but I guess this is what Youtube is doing to the world.

That degree of censorship usually implies the content is dual posted to TikTok in my experience
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
That’s weird, because the videos I watch are 1-2 hours long (or longer.) Informational deep dives are practically the opposite of Tik Tok.

I mean it’s my general experience, not a hard rule. Just because the TikTok algorithm actively promotes content with high interaction without any requirement for accuracy doesn’t mean there’s no educational information on the platform.
Alternatives:
- condensed clips are crossposted to tiktok
- self censorship to the strictest level to minimize risk of demonetization
- self censorship to avoid a mature rating, so viewers don’t have to log in to watch
- self censorship to the strictest degree based on all popular platforms’ requirements because that is “the internet”
People have always doe weird censorship things as both users and admin. Forums used to **** everything. Then things were free. The big companies started facing public pressure for beings the hosts of content and locked down again.

People complaining about the censorship is significantly more annoying than the actual tiny little blue on one single letter in one single word.

Still not as annoying as the people who complain about the complaints.

No smell has ever elevated when I near an ant colony, and I see wild ant colonies all the time. So I’m pretty sure I can’t.
