YouTube tried that and people found ways to abuse it immediately. Organized groups started going around getting chennels they don't like banned on false pretens

  YouTube had differentiated moderation for each user based on personal preferences set by the user? I don’t recall that.

    No, they tried just one of the methods you listed. Having it be set by user preference is an interesting idea, but whatever the default setting is will be used by the overwhelming majority of users and will be quickly subverted by attackers.

      Gotcha. I agree any default setting needs to expect attackers. I’d set the default to whitelist content from Insta (so they manually approve it) and verified real people “friends” can white list additional content for you. If you want to open it up more you can and layer in content moderators for hire, AI models to try, dashboards to optimize what you want, etc.

  The GP was probably suggesting letting bubbles of people moderate for those who opt in to the moderation. Thus, a channel would only be banned for people who are in the group. Analogously to real life, one doesn't have the option to choose all of ones neighbors, but you can choose the neighborhood you live in (assuming you have adequate wealth, redlining is illegal, etc). Moderation bubbles would enforce content rules much like an HOA enforces grass cutting, etc. I'm not sure how it would work out, but I'm curious if there are existing examples.
