What moderation? For what are you talking about? From what I gather they predominantly rely on automatic filtering, with barely any human filtering. They don't even moderate some of their largest channels.
E.g.
LinusTechTips complaining about spam junk and community fed solutions.

Reddit does the same broad stroke in that yea they have broad generic spam/bot detection, and also rely on reporting moderation and community driven tool. They already operate in a similar/better model than youtube.
The original argument was that Reddit/HN couldn't handle 5% of Youtube community and I am calling nonsense to that.
