Clipping out basic words in youtube clips is pissing me off (hexbear.net)

I watch a lot of the Hasan Abi industrial complex to keep up on the news. There's more and more of these channels skip clipping over words like "killed", "bomb", "war", and even "gun". One of the clips I saw earlier kept the word "missile" too... That's just a bomb with propellant!! I don't get why they keep doing this, it's really annoying. It just feels like yuppy bullshit, I have yet to encounter someone who gets triggered by these words, online or irl.

Thanks for reading my rant, goodnight.

ABC, etc. mainstream news don't rely on YouTube revenue. So even if Google is demonetizing them (seems doubtful. It's literally on primetime OTA and cable channels regulated by the FCC. No way advertisers find much to whine about there) it doesn't really matter to them as much as, say, if you, I assume a regular person, made a living editing clips and posting them for the ad revenue.
