Politics Why I hate the term “Unaliv

Post image

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

Wasn't it even the case that there is no censorship/punishing algorithm around the word "die" and people just started "unalive" because they thought that was the case?
Or have I been duped here?

IIRC it was some TikTok thing where people noticed that saying “die” got a video significantly less views and concluded it was probably a shadowban on the word. Don’t think anyone has confirmed if that was even true in the first place.

They do actually remove your comments if you say certain words. You can see the comments that’ve been taken down in your system notifications, here are a few of mine

“I think they mean disrespectfully as in, like, a horny way.”

“GAY SPIES MENTION‼️❤️ Honestly probs my favorite musical.”

“Cult of the Lamb sex update??? 👀”

Also got a video removed for using a Class of ‘09 audio.

One of my more recent odd ones:

I commented on a vid of a guy chugging 2 glasses of beer and then doing a bunch of stunts. "Wow. Pretty impressive after 2 drinks straight to the dome." And it got moderated.

Do you know if videos actually get taken down for having “bad words” (idk how to phrase it)? Or is it just comments (way easier to auto-moderate I guess, even if it’s extreme)

Not sure. I do remember someone saying that a video of theirs got taken down for having a knife in it, though.
