Has anybody written about the near-ubiquitous online trend of bowdlerizing text, either to avoid being penalized by the algorithm (real or imagined) or to avoid content being searchable by others? We have people who communicate about "s*x" instead of "sex" and... that's probably a very bad thing.
@[email protected] just a quibble, but venture funding is structurally a different financial vehicle than debt. they can sometimes function similarly, but it's incorrect at a technical level to equate them. (One key reason that it matters: it's generally illegal in most jurisdictions to have a debt that requires a return above ~1.3x, which would be abject failure for VC.)
