The other side to this is that ahh for ass is an eye dialect for certain AAVE lects (e.g. in this version of "Crank That" by Soulja Boy, "I'm jockin' on yo b#### ahh")
Incidentally, I saw a short by Unsightly Opinions today where she was talking about cutting food as a blind person, but she couldn't say either "cut" or "knife", and thus circumlocuted them as "make food smaller" and "implement". I'm reminded of Oceanian name taboos, except instead being a product of worshiping ancestors it's a product of worshiping The Algorithm.
I don't get this. I was searching YouTube to find a video of a feral hog one time and all the videos were like, "Killing feral hogs with (model of gun)" and "Watch Jane kill 40 feral hogs in 30 minutes". Presumably these are monetized videos because they had professional looking thumbnails and clickbaity titles.
How is it that you can't say knife and be monetized but you can do an animal genocide on film? Is this overzealous self censorship or preferential treatment of gun channels?
The interesting thing is that "cut" was in the short's title — so I think it was maybe originally posted to TikTok and was later posted to YouTube.
