> possible to scale a human operation to this level
Here is one stat I found from 2019:
- 400 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute
So if videos were reviewed at 1x speed, they would need 24000 humans working 24x7. (Not sure how to scale that to actual jobs, but seems manageable)
Related: "Facebook had more than 30,000 employees working on safety and security — about half of whom were content moderators." Not a fun job:

- TacticalTable 7y agoVideos at 1x speed seems to be a very naive approach. Only viewing videos detected/reported with copyright claim would be a more sensible approach, as that is where nearly all of youtube's issues lie. Even putting a few hundred people manning disputes from large customers would be hundreds of times better.
- Tempest1981 7y agoFor Facebook, they mention a contractor salary of $28800/yr. Multiplying by 30k is just under $1 billion/yr (assuming no overhead).
- la_barba 7y agoI don't think that stat is relevant. This is about reviewing only those videos that face copyright claims.
- Tempest1981 7y agoAh, that seems trivial in comparison.
