That makes sense. Avoiding censorship is reasonable. I was thinking some people did it to avoid triggers, as if seeing 'r*pe' or 'k!ll' isn't the exact same thing as seeing the words spelled out.

It's more of a demonetization thing. I see it all over the YouTube videos of homicide investigation police interviews, which makes no sense.

Yeah that would be a pretty poor trigger warning.
