    The word EXECUTED is even verboten on the dog shit social apps? The longer humanity goes on, the more absurd it becomes

      oftentimes instead it’s a preemptive self-censoring to prevent your post from being shadow-banned / doing less well with the algorithm, for which there’s only very vague if any evidence that that’s happening, but vagueness is how these algorithmic sites work

      As I said above:

      Maybe more and more words will be blacklisted over time, slowly eroding the english language until nothing more can be said or expressed out of fear of spooking the advertisers. Nobody will be able to post anything, effectively reducing the platform to a useless, content-less desert filled to the brim with ads only. It will serve no purpose but to spread the consumer’s gospel. It will happen slowly. Nobody in the general public will notice. Shareholder value has never been greater. The system works. Consume. Continue.
