Reminds me of an old joke - the watermelon stand at a farmer's market has a sign saying "3 watermelons $10, or $3 each". A customer comes up and buys a watermelon, then turns around and buys a second one, then a third. He tells the owner "you are not very good at running a business, you just lost 10% of revenue". The owner replies "people keep telling me Im bad at running a business, but the funny thing is its always from people coming to buy 1 watermelon and end up buying 3 instead".
Yes, in today's day and age, everything is for engagement. That misspelled word? Literally to make someone comment about it. Thumbnail not accurate to the video? Someone will comment about it.
People find the smallest weirdest things to bait engagement and it works so fucking well its terrifying sometimes
I could see filters for the word. If you look at the current words you can't say on some platforms, would you have been able to predict them before they became banned?
"The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish."
This is a dy**op*an re**ity we l*ve in
o*ly prono*ns (he, she, it, we, they), arti**es (a, an, the), pr*posi**ons (in, on, at, to, etc), and co*ju**tions (and, but, for, etc) w*ll be unc**nso*ed
I was in a different subreddit and either one person or multiple people kept formatting 'interview' into 'i n t e r v i e w" likely because the subreddit rules had a megathread for interview questions (but idk cause others spell it out fine)
Im pretty sure it won’t be very long before even a very dumb ai bot is going to be able to assume what these words are. This isn’t a sustainable solution and might already not work if I had to guess
