Sure, it's hard to get around sophisticated operator., but most of the spam on YT that I see is not sophisticated. You wouldn't even need ML, for the majority of them. There is actually OS tool[1] that can do this for individual creators. That tool, finds a lot of spam, that YT itself does not, and it's developed by a single guy. So there definitively is plenty of opportunity to pluck the low hanging fruit. But Goolge has probably 100 of PHD's developing some kind of ML, that ends up performing worse than some simple regexes, because you don't get promoted for simple solutions.
