I think the real reason is more that detecting and handling abuse would require personnel. This is the one area that makes google and youtube really successful: they've managed to offer services with an absolute minimum (or outright absence of (human) customer service). This cuts out a lot of overhead.
It also lets them avoid a lot of difficult decisions wrt policing speech which is something youtube has established a long history of being awful at.
- an_opabinia 6y agoYes, they are very successful at eliminating the human being. Who needs to worry about human being concerns, like being hard of hearing? Anyway, I know you're not apologizing for them. Google already has 125k+ employees. They could hire 10k+ more, it wouldn't really matter. This is such a bad look, what were they thinking?
