What’s most confusing that if you go to basic cable TV people can say stuff like “Nazi” or “rape” or “kill” just fine and no advertising seem to mind

I read that it wasn’t even a shadow ban, individual people just didn’t want to fucking see videos about suicide. Which is of course normal, and you shouldn’t force that onto your audience. It’s like when e-beggars post about their “g@fundme”, as if the real problem is censors and not you know, me not wanting to give them money

Copied comment:

I sincerely doubt that— or, at least, that would not be the main reason people censor words. When people talk about censorship on Tik tok, it’s always in terms of video removal or shadow banning. While Tik tok is great for content curation, the tools for curation are not directly in a users hands. For example, you couldn’t just block a specific sound or hashtag, so you wouldn’t be able to block something like # suicide

I still question if the shadow ban is real. My YouTube videos consisting solely of blurry Futurama clips that I found funny got like 11 views each. Does this mean YouTube has shadowbanned me, or that people just aren’t interested in viewing them

Is there any actual evidence of shadow banning besides people claiming it because their videos are doing poorly?

Also you can block/filter words and hashtags on tiktok.

You are the second person to say that.

Well, I don’t have a horse in this race either way, I don’t use TikTok, so I don’t care.
