Well, this one in particular definitely, but others like d**th, or unalive, or grape, or sewer slide, or any where the word is censored by scribbling over it or whatever. They know. The topic is still the same. Advertisers are associated with “grape” just as much, context alone makes it abundantly clear. This kind of censorship makes no sense.
Except one case, it drives engagement. People like me will comment about it, it will sprout discussion, not about the topic but the censorship itself. It’s the only way I can make anything of it.
