YouTube takes down independent court livestreams

You can refuse to remove content without a court order even if you're legally allowed to remove it without one. Why should they choose to create a bad user experience by removing content via algorithms? They could just not.

Removing obscene, explicit, and even illegal content is only practical at YouTube's scale using algorithms, the idea that they should just abandon algorithmic removal of videos entirely is not a realistic suggestion.

Is it only possible using algorithms or is it just more profitable using algorithms?

Both. Yet, even if it were only motivated by profit, YouTube is an ad delivery business, its only purpose is profit.
