I think it'll be difficult to openly discuss stuff like this on YouTube, especially with how they are now using OCR to read on-screen text in videos rather than relying on just the auto captions.
So not only will channels need to bleep as usual, they may also need to blur on-screen text too. I think naturally people will use new words to replace older "less fashionable" terminology, but it's being forced on us at the moment by advertisers IMO.
Given how videos form the basis of a lot of popular culture nowadays, I think advertiser censorship will, and kind of has already affected society
