Interesting way of getting around censorship. Although I’m curious - if YouTube can demonetize a video because it hears sweet child of mine playing in the background, could it not also listen for certain words, and immediately censor it?

there was a recent article[1] that explained how Tiktok is doing its censoring (for German videos). Interestingly, the censors usually only watch frames of the videos (no sound!) and only have 30 seconds to decide what to do with the video (if they want to fulfill their ratio), meaning the kind of tactic this woman used is actually perfect for circumventing the censors (at least in the short-term)... until they change their proceedings (which they will, they are working on algorithms).
