Can anybody explain what the thinking behind censoring the word “sex” is? I mean, who is it being censored for and what is the fear would happen if those people saw the uncensored word?

YouTube’s and TikTok’s algorithms that determine monetization and visibility. People then censor these words on other platforms out of habit, I guess.

In spoken language, substitutions (porn corn, kill unalive etc.) are more popular than bleeps.

That negative or morally questionable topics are advertiser-unfriendly. Of course, advertisers don’t need to run positive or moral ads, though.
