Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

    A lot of it comes from Tiktok culture. YouTube has started doing it too.

    Videos that say “kill”, “rape”, “died”, etc are all deprioritized by the algorithm if not demonetized entirely.

    People have been editing subtitles to avoid these words, and the behavior spread.
