Can anybody explain what the thinking behind censoring the word “sex” is? I mean, who is it being censored for and what is the fear would happen if those people saw the uncensored word?
I know you don’t think that, but imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable. It all comes down to money, of course. “Can’t have my brand associated with sex because some people hate sex and they might not give me their money! Better pretend like we can deny sex exists altogether.” And then the same advertisers advertise beer using boobs.

I think lots of Christian denominations find it a necessary evil. I did too before I became an atheist. Still, I think the platforms are so afraid of showing age-inappropriate content to someone they’d rather stash it away to somewhere nobody finds it unless explicitly searching for it.

YouTube’s and TikTok’s algorithms that determine monetization and visibility. People then censor these words on other platforms out of habit, I guess.
In spoken language, substitutions (
porncorn,killunalive etc.) are more popular than bleeps.Ok, so what’s YouTube’s and tiktok’s thinking, then?
That negative or morally questionable topics are advertiser-unfriendly. Of course, advertisers don’t need to run positive or moral ads, though.

Of course not, they’re the customers so they’re always right. And the “product” is tightly regulated.
