This ignores human bad actors.
There is no "rollback" for the existence of algorithms.
Instead of whining (problems without solutions) spend some time contemplating what a sufficient algorithmic solution looks like.
To be clear, that would be an algorithmic solution that "fights back" against issues like these (and not simply improving a failing solution).
That may not be a competing product. Maybe it's an algorithmic whistleblower?
- jrumbut 6y agoThe algorithm can exist, but to run it at scale requires buildings and large teams and bank accounts and therefore the companies that use these algorithms are susceptible to regulation. Otherwise it seems like an enormous waste of talent and resources playing cat and mouse, when we can just give them guidelines and fairly often they'll be followed. Of course bad actors can exist, but that's not a reason to give up on social solution to problems.
- BrianOnHN 6y ago> give up on social solution to problems Everything is a trade-off. Sure humans can be used for moderating spam. I'd prefer if they performed real social work, instead.
- manicdee 6y agoI’d prefer if people realised that moderating YouTube was social work, and not suitable for an algorithms-only approach.
