Is there counter-action taken by YouTube against people who expressed a "bullying" or "harassing" vote?
When using a group-chat system, it's possible to abuse anti-spam reporting. One design idea is to punish those who were involved in an "unjust report". This requires a "justification evaluation" - that can be done by a moderator, or by a broader community vote.
Does YT remove the ability to harass other YT users if that power is clearly being abused?
- chillacy 6y agoI know there's an entire black mirror episode about this [1] but it would be interesting to have some skin in the game for people who submit "unjust reports", even if it's some sort of trust score.

- Alupis 6y agoSome video games take it a step further and say it may result in your account being banned if you are found to have filed to many false "cheating" reports against other players.
- xsmasher 6y agoProbably not a priority for YT; they have a lot to lose from leaving up "bad" videos, and less at stake from erring on the side of removal.
- aeternum 6y agoIt should be a priority for them, lots of creators are switching off of YT due to how easily their videos are taken down and demonetized. This will cause other platforms to win eventually but Google might be too large to care.
