Humanity built the pyramids. We went to the fucking moon. To say basic content moderation is impossible by "the best and brightest software engineers" is such a cop out.
The real impossibility: "doing it while still optimizing for the greatest amount of ad revenue".

You can easily get everyone to agree on the answer to "is there a pyramid right here?" Try getting them to agree on "is this video valuable?"
- joshspankit 7y agoThis is a very important distinction. YouTube Kids was the service where this really stunned me: How could it possibly make sense that a service designed specifically for children can’t be properly moderated? Even of they had one single employee manually reviewing the full content of all submitted videos, they would have 6-8 hours of safe content each day. With an automated quality check first, they could have had 6-8 hours of excellent safe content per day. Instead they created a service that damaged countless children. For the sake of ad revenue.
