I swear to god, more and more I keep having ‘clean’ versions play on Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer - despite the song being marked as ‘Explicit’.

And no, I definitely do not have the setting checked for only playing clean versions.

It’s not just me - is it?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s related to many streaming services adding ads even for subscribers. Advertisers are notorious for driving censorship.

      It’s always advertisers getting frisky.

      But I don’t understand - it’s inconsistent. Some stuff will be censored and others won’t be?

        They apply it piecemeal and charge more for guaranteeing that your ad won’t be put in an un-censored show if that’s a thing that matters to you. Or that it will be put in an un-censored show. Or either. Or both. Or different things for different catalogs that they specify.

        They’re selling targeting. They’re just creating another axis to segregate data on that can be charged for in their pricing model.
