      I took it to mean that if you weren’t rich or beautiful, you would be censored. The censorship being a way to show that you weren’t important.

      Of course, that wouldn’t actually be the case in real life, though it may feel that way. If we were looking through the lens from a big data company, it would be true that we’re just one data point in a sea of data points, but they rely on the sea and the sea is made of me’s.

        I’m autistic, repeating the joke won’t help me understand. Though I guess it’s funny, so continue on (Though I don’t know why)

          AuDHD here. I could be entirely off, but there’s two jokes I can see.

          The first is that the punchline is a non-joke, because it’s been removed.

          The second is that they’re all just as meaningless, but still repeated. Rich and attractive people always try to convince you not to question those structures because it benefits them. It’s a nothing statement. Of course they would say that. Just like [Deleted], always saying [Removed].

        Lots of people have difficulty putting into words why something is funny. It’s usually not something they can easily put into words unless they have a background in comedy. I’m not overly bothered by it.

      On reddit, when A user account is deleted, their posts will just say “removed” and the account “deleted”, hence the association of the two.

        But that is only the case if the person deleted their comments before deleting their reddit account. Otherwise you will still see the comments

          Honestly, if you don’t get it just move on. It’s not that important.

          No one here will even remember it tomorrow. It’s ok.

            One of my special interests is humor (probably because of my difficulties with it) and I like to know why things work. If you can’t put it into words, that’s fine. It’s a fairly common response, to the point where “it isn’t funny if you have to explain it” is a common saying.

            Don’t tell people it’s not important if they ask. That just makes people feel excluded because it’s clearly important to them.
