All of this is a consequence of YouTube automating virtually everything it does so they don’t have to pay humans to review anything. All the whole, they make massive piles of cash from videos made by other humans they pay very little to.
Don’t disagree, problem is they get 81 years of video uploaded per day.
At 30,000 hours of video per hour, I’ll let you do the math about how many living wage employees would be needed to be trained and dedicated to watching those videos to manually review them.
I promise that even with Google money, they couldn’t pay them all.
Exponential scaling works that way. It sucks, but automation is the only way to pull it off.
They don’t need enough workers to watch every video uploaded, they only need enough to review copyright claims.
They should get rid of the copyright claim system since it gets badly abused and just use DCMA since it’s illegal to file a false DCMA claim.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I never thought of this before, the parody song practically writes itself
That, and a party found to have a used the system should lose the right to use it without review. Actually I would expect google to seu them for breach of contract.
