If they had confidence in their reporting, they wouldn’t post this in their Opinion section.

Manual reviewers basically sort by ‘most flagged’ and start working down the list. By the time you get to just a few flags, it’s 99.99% BS flags, such flagged videos obviously would not be taken down and are in very, very numerous quantity. Videos that get flagged by more people are obviously more likely to be real flags and worthy of a reviewer’s time.

Yeah, the part about most having 16+ flags isn’t really surprising (or in my opinion concerning). The rest of it, though, is pretty damning, especially the executive response to it all. While I agree with the laws (in my country, at least) that online platforms generally can’t be held responsible for what their users post, those executives should absolutely be held accountable for choosing money.

As soon as you want to earn money with it, you are most definitely responsible for it in my eyes. At least when people tell you annoy problematic content on your platform.
