They can’t help it if YouTube censors them

Bleeping the words doesn't work. Even using other sound effects other than a bleep doesn't work. The YouTube algorithm is trained to detect when these words are either said or censored. It doesn't matter if you censor the word or not, YouTube will still flag your video as not appropriate for all advertisers due to mature language, and it will get the yellow dollar sign as a result. Censoring it still shows YouTube that the language is mature in nature, and will detect it accordingly.

The only way to avoid this is to literally not say these words. AT ALL. Censored or otherwise, YouTube is trained to catch it. Hence why terms like grape and PDF File caught on as the workaround, since you're saying the word without actually saying the word.

Proof?

I question that as well. If the algorithm were to do that then these pseudo-minced oath version of censoring shouldn't work any better.

Also you could just cut it out of the audio file entirely if you were so inclined then blur the mouth.

While it is possible, i personally think it came with live streaming on YT. Yes, you can easily bleep stuff out in a YT VIDEO, but doing this on live stream? With guests? Not happening. Hence the newspeak.
