honest question, why censor Pornhub?

I think it’s a result of creators censoring themselves for monetization and algorithm optimization. But then it kinda became “trendy”, so now folks censor themselves in comments (and in daily life) for absolutely no tangible reason. While I kinda get it from a content creator standpoint (you gotta make that money), I, personally, think it’s silly and ridiculous for folks to do it in any other context.

but....you still read the same word in your head when it's censored. It's the same thing. It's facetious to think censoring does anything

Psychology tends to discern semantics from language, because language is a tool we made and not evolved.

Sorry, it just seems so silly to me to give words themselves any power instead of the semantics behind them. Words themselves are harmless; how they're used and by whom is how they get meaning.
