    It’s not people. If I recall correctly it has to do with ads. Like if your website has ads on it for the XYZ company, and their automatic content reading bot sees too many “bad words”, then they won’t advertise on your site anymore and the site owner loses the ad revenue. It’s stupid, but it explains why the word itself is more important than the content of the article. Because the bots look for words and have a threshold or something.
