One of the largest and most profitable companies in the world can't hire enough low-paid humans to do content review. They already have some of the highest margins in history and they still can't figure out that sacrificing less than 1% of profits could solve this problem?
- zentiggr 6y agoPaying less attention to YouTube also solves this problem. People still can't figure out that not watching YouTube solves all moderation problems? Google doesn't care about those posting on YouTube. They care about advertisers pulling their money if whatever content infringes on THEIR priorities.
- ddtaylor 6y agoI think the reason most people are watching YouTube instead of traditional media is _because_ of this type of thing. Take this exact situation here as an example: this kind of content would never make it to traditional TV because it can't find an audience for such niche content, eg. people smart enough to warrant linking a PhD research paper in the description. I think Odysee is a good alternative. PeerTube doesn't really seem to be a great option here as it seems to have been down during this time. > Google doesn't care about [...] Mostly true, but also kind of not relevant. Google isn't doing anything here besides making poorly trained AI models that try to solve this problem for them. It's more negligence than it is malice, IMO.
