Thats the biggest problem with all of this stuff. They designed their whole business to not pay people. Not only their margins would shrink, but the perceived value of the company would shrink _a lot_. They will never do it.

While I'm not privy to YouTube's organizational structure, I'd be very surprised if their customers don't receive plenty of human support.
Note that you are not their customer. Advertisers are.

Google's entire business model is predicated on there being no meaningful human support.
If they're forced to implement the level of support their worldwide, what-they-consider-top-notch operation would actually require, their business model goes bust.
Ok, I'm probably exaggerating, but their profit margins would go down from ~25% to probably something like 5%.
They will <<never>>, ever do it, unless someone puts a legal gun to their head.
