I never really understood why people self censor their comments at all. I can’t think of any major social media site that gives a shit. The YouTube algorithm cares, but that’s just for the videos themselves.
It’s very common on most social media for comments with swears to get shadow removed. Personally I often resort to non-ASCII lookalike characters instead, because fսсk those sһіttу censorship rules. But it’s also a lot easier to just self-censor.
I don’t use tik tok so I might be wrong but I think that platform is the main driver of it. My wife uses it and says they have to censor even non-swears like “kill” or “sex” or their video/comment could be removed.
