YouTube does have human moderators though. YouTube just make a point to pretend they don't exist and the PR tries to make you think all moderation is algorithmic, because the alternative is angry YouTubers trying to retaliate against human moderators.

They can hire more people, but they will (and should) never let you call them up and tell at them after your video is demonetized.

Indeed. A friend of mine used to work for a company that shared an office with them. There's far more human work involved than YouTube wants people to think.
