    1. Why is “executed”/ censored.
    2. Second tweet is just “wow that’s so wacky and hilarious”

      Tldr people try to game image recognition, word filters, etc to increase visibility of their post on social media. It works.

      People are slaves to the algorithm, even if they claim to not care. If you alter your post to increase visibility, you are playing by it’s rules.

      By censoring even potentially blockable words, not only are they improving the odds it will go to a wider audience, they get people to comment “why is that word censored/why is there a random dot/erase spot?” which drives up engagement stats, thus sending it to even more people.

          Maybe more and more words will be blacklisted, slowly eroding the english language until nothing more can be said or expressed out of fear of spooking the advertisers. Nobody will be able to post anything, effectively reducing the platform to ads only; without content. It will happen slowly. Nobody in the general public will notice. shareholder value has never been greater. The system works. Consume. Continue.

      At least it’s better than unalived, which strikes me as especially dystopian with the self-censorship.
