This goes back to radio edits, https://genius.com/Zager-and-evans-mr-turnkey-lyrics https://genius.com/Zager-and-evans-mr-turnkey-lyrics has the line "Mister Turnkey, I forced that girl in Wichita Falls" but the version I have is "Mister Turnkey, there's been a rape in Wichita Falls"
I'm sure this would've been happening in the past too with books having editions. Streaming just moves towards consumption sticking to the latest editions. Like you say, not really a bad thing, but where it goes we'll see
- GauntletWizard 3y agoI have no problem with the edits. Artists are allowed to bowdlerize their own works. Consumers should have the choice to edit their own copies to make the same edits - I fully supported "Cleanflicks"[1] attempts to sell edited "Family Friendly" versions of movies - Clearly labeled. What really scares me is the inability to tell when an edit has been made. We're being gaslight by the media companies, erasing history.
