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.
It’s pretty obvious the report is due to the badly censored word. That’s specifically done as engagement bait.
And saying “that’s how I found it” isn’t an acceptable reason, anyone could very easily edit it out in a few seconds (Not that anyone did, just showing that there is absolutely no reason to post it with the engagement bait).
Ironically, if people (like you) just ignore the line then it won’t drive engagement. You’re writing multiple comments about how this is bait which is falling for what you consider bait. Personally, I didn’t think much of it because it doesn’t fucking matter.
This post has been reported. The reason given:
I mean, if you feel people shouldn’t be posting engaging content…
Leaving it up.
EDIT: people keep complaining. There’s no rule against this, and the meme stands on its own without the line though the word.
i would like to report this post. it seems to be bombing.
