You all know what I’m talking about. I was just watching a video on another post, and literally the first ten seconds of audio were covered up by BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I know it’s everywhere, but already I stop watching YouTube channels that use it, and I don’t watch TV very much because of it.
I’m not sure if other people feel this way, and it sounds kinda whiney when I type it out like this, but the pitch hurts my ears and disrupts my concentration on the video in a way that irritates me way more than it should.
Of course, nowadays there’d be many more options. Or they could just refrain from fucking censoring. 8 year olds know and say the beeped words without hesitation. What they wanted to originally achieve - not raising swearing generations - has failed extensively. Instead, produce/play content that mirrors realistic scenarios for swears etc. Beeping someone telling their teacher/boss/whatever to go fuck themselves on TV won’t make kids not reproduce this, the opposite is the case: It’s now something forbidden. Seemingly censored without the person’s consent even. Which naturally makes it much more attractive to use inappropriate.
One Channel, i dont watch because of that, uses/used the windows error sound…
