Youtube has forced it onto their creators for a while. Censor swears or risk upsetting the almighty algorithm and getting demonetized, because apparently american companies don't like being associated with swearing.

Yeah, but the YouTube culture used to not use swearwords/unwanted words as a result of this. I have recently seen a few videos, where they said prn and sx, including cutting the vowels from the audio. This change in how to deal with the restrictions imposed by the platform is what I don't understand.

Edit: I have edited my comment above to be more precise.

with both tiktok and youtube, nobody actually knows if that's the case, they just assume it
