Thank you for taking the time to respond. I guess I could have been more clear: this trend of half-assedly crossing out normal words is a clear manipulation tactic to increase the comment count of a post and boost engagement because people inevitably call out the bullshit in the comments section. It dilutes the discussion and becomes very tedious when it happens so often.
