#it falls somewhere between part infantilizing and part confusing and completely infuriating

[feyarcher]

I think my new personal youtube rule is going to be that I unfollow and stop watching anyone who says 'corn' instead of 'porn' or says 'shit' and then censors the back half of the word. I understand that this comes from tiktok and has been imported into youtube not wanting to promote/ put pricey ads on videos deemed "mature", but I'm a full grown adult and I feel like I'm losing my mind from this trash. And I just have to tap out of it at this point.

#im not saying anyone else should make the same choice as me here #but it is driving me up a freaking wall #these sudden audio blank spaces or weird sub in words make me do a double take to try and figure out what just happened #and then when i do realize what happened im sitting here going this video is not for 4 year olds #and it just makes me so mad #it falls somewhere between part infantilizing and part confusing and completely infuriating #and i should just stop watching creators who have chosen to make this choice because the back button always exists #and i can just use it and save myself the strife #and its not like i think i can personally get youtube to stop choosing to punish videos that don't censor WORDS #but the thing i can control is how i spend my time and what i give attention to #and if i only choose to spend my time and attention on people not playing by these stupid rules then at least i help those people #while also helping myself #its basically just an extension of why i got off twitter months ago #i cant stop the platform changes but i can choose to not spend time places where i despise the rules #and if this means that 5 years from now i am choosing to no longer spend time on the internet cause censorship across sm has gotten so bad #then fine so be it i have more books than i could read in a lifetime #allie says stuff sometimes
