I blame giant corpos training people to self-sensor. Twitter popularized this by hiding replies that contained curse words, so people began to use milder language. Then TikTok did their stupid censorship so people started using alternative words. Now YouTube does the same but they will straight-up delete your comment or deprioritize your videos without notice.

There's no logic to the YouTube thing. I've noticed news channels that blur out guns when someone pulls one on CCTV even though it's already only 120p, even though there are other YouTube channels that are literally all about guns and they're not bothered at all.
