        The algorithms used to “derank” swear-laden videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube are the exact same one used to derank “political” content and/or queer content.

        So yeah, it fucking pisses me off every time someone self-censors to appease the Algorithm, lending it more credibility.

        They would like to have ppl self censor the war instead, but it’s a far away dream as there hasn’t been a day without an armed conflict in over 6000 years.
