105,120 if working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year.

Of course, that don't work for copyright protection since there isn't a person alive who can recognize every copyright protected image/video/audio on the planet and whether the person uploading owns/licenses the copyright in every territory.

Maybe feasible if < 1% of content requires human review. (~1,000 reviewers). But seeings as a lot of people treat report buttons as a "mega downvote" I don't think this is feasible in practice.

If this law is rolled out, I highly suspect that YouTube in the EU will consists solely of large channels that have a low rate of videos that violate policy.
