GWAR!

This is the second time I’ve seen GWAR mentioned on Lemmy today, which isn’t a lot, but it’s enough to make me smile.

Engagement bait

It’s utterly fucked that things get subtly thrown in like this to boost engagement. Nevermind AI slop, there is so much general slop content on the internet now.

Pshhh this guy doesn’t remember the controversy in 1972 when 8 year old Gerald “Little Milton” Bostock said the word “g**r”

They’d rather unalive us all than miss out on profits.

Dunno why it’s so hard to figure out or why people bitch about it.
Posting certain words will often get your social media submission blocked, pushed way down by the algorithm, or run up against a rule of some kind.
So people make up stuff like “unalived” or “sht” or “fck” so they don’t run up against soft censorship.
That’s how it is. It’s not Earth shattering, it’s censorship.

Except that there’s no evidence that saying “killed” or “murdered” for example, actually does push you down the algorithm. And if it did, surely saying “unalived” would have the same effect by now, since the algorithm could easily be extended to this term, and it’s been in use for ages.
People censoring themselves in this way, preemptively, with no certainty that it is making a difference is like late-stage Orwellian batshit insanity.
It’s enough of a reason on its own to avoid those platforms. When even the creators are disingenuous enough to self-censor inoffensive words in an effort to appease an opaque algorithm, the content cannot possibly be meaningful.Kolanaki@pawb.social 57 minutes ago
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.

The problem is the corporate system and that people are willing to abide by and accept that system, and when they bring the compromises due to the system to places (such as the Threadiverse) to which those compromises are irrelevant.
