Has anybody written about the near-ubiquitous online trend of bowdlerizing text, either to avoid being penalized by the algorithm (real or imagined) or to avoid content being searchable by others? We have people who communicate about "s*x" instead of "sex" and... that's probably a very bad thing.
@anildash Would the usage of "unalive" instead of "dead" or "kill" be considered part of that same trend?
@Gargron yes, very much. It's all algorithmically induced.
