    If by “old” you mean not using idiotic words like “unalive”, putting trigger warnings before the word “shit” and claiming to have DID, ADHD, OCD and Autism all unprompted - then I can live with it skewing “old”.

      spoken like a true geezer

      fwiw “unalive” came about to circumvent automatic censorship, It’s the young people being tech savvy. Meanwhile, you’re over in the corner stewing as the world passes you by.

      Don’t fall into the perpetual trap of thinking the current crop of young people are the worst thing ever, it’ll make your hair fall out

      No that’s not what he meant, you just made it up to feel important, much like how young people sometimes fake illnesses to feel special.

      Unalive is the stupidest word I’ve heard. I’ve seen one YouTube video (about true crime) using this word, and I was thinking to myself: does this word mean what I think it does? And apparently it does. I looked at the comments, hoping that someone would point this out (that this word is stupid) apparently no one was saying anything about it and I feel like that I’m the stupid one…

        Its just a way to get around being demonetized. Its like a child saying frick because they aren’t allowed to curse. The word isn’t stupid, YouTube is.

          I know it is… But can’t you find another existing word? For example: “to deprive of life”. Or slay. Or anything. Unalive is… an adjective. Not a verb. Of course the whole censorship is a stupid thing.

            Language evolves in stupid directions sometimes.

            I actually only speak proto indo European because evolution of language is bad and wrong. If your true crime video said “deprived of life”, it would sound even worse. Goofy is better than pretentious. “slay” would probably also get you demonetized because its a well known and more mature synonym of kill. The entire point is to make a new word, so YouTube doesn’t have a chance to ban it.
