    Lots of people get in the habit of doing that if they are content creators as depending on the platform you can get demonitized or have your video quietly suppressed. Most of this happens automatically by filters or transcriptions, and is opaque to creators so its hard to tell what is allowed. So if you are an Instagram creator or youtuber you can build the habit of preemptively censoring words you think might get flagged.

      This trickles out to content consumers as well though - some of my younger friends always do these replacements everywhere, and they’re definitely not a content creator. Exposure to a speech pattern will inevitably influence your own.

      Please note I’m not passing a value judgement like “kids these days”, just pointing out that not everyone who does this is a content creator.
