Come on. It is more than a lean. Growth is an explicit, fractal goal at every level.

I didn't give implementation details on the rate limit, because as I preambled, this was a thought experiment, not a design document. They whole point is to underline the fact that, there is a cost of making the review process better (whether automatic or manual) and to what extent corners should be cut versus this cost should be paid seems to be informed by the objective to grow at any cost.
Yet that's what the grandparent comment is suggesting:
> Can’t Youtube say “given the current accuracy/precision of ML based solutions and how much our manual operations can scale, we are going to rate limit the content that circulates to match our ability of giving the best judgment on what videos to take down and what videos to keep”.
YT already does this abuse-prevention, they just lean towards letting more content on rather than less. The grandparent suggests that they start limiting uploads in a way that more regular uploaders (eg. a few videos a day) would feel, which would warrant some explanation or statement from the company.
