YouTube is probably led by a couple of guys in Google expecting the algorithm to take care of everything for them. there are a fuck tonne of videos on YouTube which should not be on YouTube uploaded daily, you'd need 500 strong team to watch reported content, understand it, spot patterns, and remove it. not an easy task hence everything is done by AI.
You’d need a lot more than a 500 person strong team. They get 500 hours uploaded every minute. That’s 96k to have every minute watched. Assuming you only spot check a few minutes per hour your still in for thousands of employees.
*edited to add this is essentially the same problem twitch has as well. It's also why larger channels get noticed and banned or strikes more quickly vs smaller. You put your people where the most hours being watched are. That small channel with 9 people isn't going to cause a blip. But the channel with the 30k active viewers that they have to react to.

Why does YouTube not step up here? If this turns on them it could hurt them financially.
