” Users disguise words like “shooting” and “killing” (e.g., “sh00ting,” “k*lling”) to evade algorithmic content moderation that automatically flags, suppresses, or demonetizes posts containing sensitive terms.

This practice, known as algospeak or linguistic self-censorship, allows creators to discuss taboo topics like violence, suicide, or sex without triggering automated filters that might result in shadowbanning, de-monetization, or post removal. “

Pretty much.
