From what I gather people started saying "unalive" instead of "kill" or "murder" or "suicide" on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube because the algorithm will deprioritize their content.
This scares me for a bunch of reasons.
1) People on these platforms have no problem with the actual censoring of their thoughts. The problem they have is lack of monetization and reach. So they will change their entire vocabulary to make a company happy. They don't leave, they don't fight, because they will do anything Big Tech says as they rely on it like a drug.
2) I'm actually hearing people say "unalive" in person. Big Tech corporate censoring is actually changing vocabulary in the real world.
3) I'm assuming Big Tech censoring is due to advertisers. So that means Coke and Blue Apron have the power to change everything by refusing to advertise places unless the platform changes what's being said.
Why aren't you fucking angry yet? Fight these services. Quit posting on them. Don't let some rich asshole in a suit tell you what words you're allowed to say. Your view count isn't everything. Start over elsewhere. Build your own shit. Fuck Big Tech, Jesus Christ.
