I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like 'unalive'.

Language naturally evolves over time but I really don't like the idea that it's being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!
