The notion that adequate moderation requires watching every second of video at 1:1 speed is such a strawman on so many levels I don't even know how to respond.

  Exactly what I was thinking. There are obviously significantly more effective ways to do things. You could probably just keep the automated systems in place, but have human moderators verify every video that the automated moderators flag (as you stated, obviously not by watching the entire video at 1:1 speed). That alone would be strictly better than how they are currently doing things, and probably not too difficult to pull off.

    Note that humans-in-the-loop is the status quo already at YouTube.

      Yet the humans are making mistakes like this thread is about. I think the intent is to have better humans in the loop and to have a human appeal process. Currently it seems like the human approved removal has no recourse and you’re just hosed.

      I was under the impression that bans were automated, and appeals were handled by humans. I think it would be better if ban “suggestions” were automated and actual bans always came from a human. Not sure the exact process at YouTube though.
