Have you noticed this becoming a trend among youtubers? I first saw it used as a joke on Ultimate Spider-Man, but now it's being used in a serious context.

My friend's 10 year old was suspended from school because he emailed his friend on his school email that he was going to kill him. They were joking and pretending like robots took over their email or something like that. Since then if they're playing Fortnite or anything, they say un-alive.

I assumed it was to avoid getting screwed by the algorithm somehow, but I'm probably the last person who should talk about that kind of stuff, as I have only the slightest clue about any of it.

It's a social media-influenced workaround. Tiktok and Instagram especially will auto-flag and even suspend when you use "kill," "suicide," and other similar words on videos and reels.

I've been watch old Minecraft videos, like 2 and 3 years old, and a few of the more "family friendly" people have been using it. The fear of the algorithm and demonization have them doing it.
Newer things things haven't been as bad.

Im waiting for the word Death to be replaced with Anti-Life. Do you happen to have godlike powers and an unhealthy interest in equations? |

So, does that mean that instead of "killing" they are taking alive people and turning them dead? And can un-alives become un-deads? Or are undeads already unalives?
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS~!

It's a social media-influenced workaround. Tiktok and Instagram especially will auto-flag and even suspend when you use "kill," "suicide," and other similar words on videos and reels. And a lot of users who are on one platform will post the same content to others too, so they default to language that will skirt around the strictest autocensors so a thing that starts on one out of necessity quickly bleeds onto other platforms and become a meme. Same reason 'In Roblox' is added to discussions of violent acts. |

Its becausr of the algorithm. Certain words trigger it and get you demonetised.
Kill, shoot, death, dead are some. My channel is military based and its a pain in the arse skirting around the algorithm.
I cant say "a F-4 was shot down" because shot may get flagged. I have to use "downed"
Its utterly stupid. I had a vid flag for the word Kirpi, an armorer fighting vehicle from Turkey. Remove the word kirpi, it was fine

LOL, that is lame as shit. If you're a content creator or any kind of media critic, and you can't say words like "kill", "die", or "death" without your videos being taken down by content hosting sites, you have little choice in what word you can use to show the same meaning. We live in a world where media is filtered through the almighty algorithm. There might be someone out there that makes great video essays about world history, but no one will ever see them because the algorithm blocked his video because he used word like "war", "gun", and "shoot". On the other side, there may be someone who gets lots of views for subpar videos. But he uses words like "disagreement", and "pew-pew". And any number of workarounds to get content seen in a world where everyone makes content. |
