There is plenty of evidence of people being demonitized for using certain words or phrases. I haven’t even seen anyone arguing that it hides their videos or anything like that, but they definitely stop giving you ad revenue if you violate the rules which are very clearly outlined on youtube and tiktok at least.
Youtube specifically has a list of words and phrases that may lead to being demonitized. They also used to have a rule saying you could not swear within the first minute or so of the video. That one has changed recently, tho.
And becsuse the big content creators are concerned about it, monkey see, monkey do. Most of this shit is by kids that know their favorite creators censor themselves so they also do it not necessarily knowing why, and it won’t even really affect them.
The advertisers say “don’t associate us with (x) words”. The algorithms push moneymaking videos to the top. If your video is full of things ad companies don’t like, you get fewer ads, down you go.
Nice way to say “We don’t (directly) prevent content from being shown.” It just conveniently works out that way.
