Why shouldn’t it? Youtube has hundreds of millions of users and most of them don’t care the slightest bit about human moderation. If you only want to use platforms that have extensive human moderation systems, they exist (HN is one, I believe dang reads every comment).
- selfhoster11 5y agoHuman-less moderation is regularly wrecking the livelihoods of many Youtube streamers, who provide valuable (often irreplacable) educational and entertainment videos to the community. Getting banned, or getting innocent videos demonetized/removed by "the algorithm" is very common. This, if nothing else, should be a motivation to provide some level of human arbitration/appeals court. I'm sure that a good argument can be made that lack of human moderation makes Youtube an unwitting vector for videos that erode political and scientific discourse by spreading harmful nonsense, but I'm sure someone else already has written about it and I don't have the energy nor will to retread that path.
