Its to avoid being censored actually. I think we get their gist when we are missing one letter. Depends on which platform that determines if it’s pointless or not but who cares.
If you’re gonna self censor then just use a different word. Self censoring is still caving in to censorship in general. Either say the full word uncensored or pick a different word. Anything else is just annoying to read.
I disagree with that. Content creators need to adapt to survive with the modern algorithms. Those algorithms are trash and the censorship behind it can eat a fat one, but the creators are just trying to get paid.
Now, bringing that self-censorship into real life, into casual conversation with friends, off of platforms that are monetized… that is what annoys me. Not because they are difficult to read, that’s just an evolution of slang, but because it muddies the language and weakens our ability to communicate. “Unalive” instead of suicide or killed makes it seem less serious, less graphic, at least to me. And that’s the whole point of why they are using replacements in monetized content, because it is safer, but sometimes language needs to be harsher.
