Two Facebook questions that are driving me mad

Factual Questions
1

And getting answers on Facebook itself, either through their help or posting it, is impossible.

The first one is about Reels.

I open and watch them all the time because most of them I see are from pages and people I know and I’m interested in. And without actually testing it I would say honestly 97% of them are very abruptly truncated. They stop in the middle of a sentence or a word at a spot which in no way makes sense as a deliberate choice. This happens on reels that do and do not have links to more information, so it has nothing to do with that. And as I say, it happens more than it does not happen.

It is incredibly aggravating and unbelievably confusing. Do the reel creators know this and not care? Are they denied an opportunity to remove the reel or fix the reel? Is this something that somehow is only happening on the reels that I watch? If it is, as I feel it must be, a massive glitch in Facebook’s programming, why does it continue? What the hell is going on?

Question number two is about video content on Facebook and Facebook’s rules for impermissible words, presumably to allow monetization, since many videos that don’t seem to be concerned with monetization also don’t seem to be concerned with the words they use.

What I want to know is whether people who are avoiding certain words are working from an actual list or simply guessing? I ask this because sometimes it seems beyond belief that Facebook would be as radical in their demands about word choice and references as some people seem to think… Is it really against the rules to reference any word for any alcohol? Any word for any drug? Referencing anything having to do with sexuality of any kind or sexual activities or sexual feelings? Words referencing any kind of violence or tools usable for violence? It is truly ridiculous. Depending on the kind of video you’re watching (like a true crime story video for instance) it can become impossible to understand what the hell anybody’s talking about.

So is it really a list of exact words that these people are deleting and bleeping because Facebook demands it, or they being really hyper careful just in case?

They’re using software to turn a 5 minute video into dozens and dozens of reels. They don’t care about the final result, they don’t care about content or quality. It’s about quantity and plays. If the video looked interesting that’s because someone originally took the time to make a good video. Then other people came a long and chopped it up and edited it to make a bunch of little videos and added some AI voices and inaccurate captions, and made it their own. Reels are garbage.

There are lots of lists and discussions about what words will negatively affect the algorithm. Here’s one: YouTube Demonetization Words - Google Drive

When someone is having ChatGPT write their video scripts for them, it’s easy to input a long list like this and tell it to use alternates for any of them. Ends up sounding dumb, but hey, you had to watch it to find that out, and watching it is all they wanted you to do in the first place. They didn’t want or expect you to like it.

Your answers make depressing sense.

And whatever you do, DON’T comment on the video to say how much you hate it, or ask where the ending went, or anything like that. Any comment coubts as an engagement. It will make the algorithm more likely to show the video to the next person who will then ask where the nding went and why does it suck!? That will make it seen by the next person who will post a comment telling everyone its a BS video, stop comme ting on it! But of course, that was a comment itself, which drives the engagement stats.
So, sometime the video are really bad or cut short on purpose. It makes people ask queations or criticize! The best thing is to ignore them. Never comment on it or even Like a persons comment that so perfectly and succinctly explained how much the video sucked.
Likes are engagements. Don feed the trolls.

Like when there’s the prompt “comment for part two!”
