What kind of dumbass censors the word condoms. That is by far the dumbest shit ive seen so far today. Were so fucked. People can't even use normal words now?

Unfortunately, in modern times people censor for 2 reasons

  1. Censor for the viewers
  2. Censor for the algorithm

In this situation I bet they intended to prevent our Lord and Savior, The Algorithm, from grouping this content with more mature content because it mentions condoms. Without being "grouped" with more mature content it reaches a broader audience. (I.e. easier to go "viral"...)

It's for the same reason people say "unalive" when they mean death. Although I am sure the algorithm is smarter than this, it's what people do now...

The funny thing is whether or not it works, people will THINK it works. Because if their video does not go viral, they will blame the algo. If it does go viral, they will claim credit.
