Edit - Firstly, sorry about how the phrase "please educate yourself" sounded - english is not my first language, although that shouldn't be an excuse to sound like an ass in a public forum. What I meant is that the scale of youtube is often underestimated (Eg. stats like the number of abusive channels and videos that they take down every day etc. are just mind-boggling)

Secondly, for the folks saying why should we allow youtube to scale beyond what it can handle, or why should we accept the 99.99% precision ?

It is because I do not see a futuristic society in which humans are doing work like "manual reviews" - to progress humanity we need to automate such manual labour so I support the fact that companies are testing the limits of automatic content moderation - and working to improve it - I see it as a win overall. Adding human reviewers would be a step in the backward direction IMO.

Why are you assuming that HN readers don't understand YT scale?

You do know that HN has readers who have built things at YouTube scale, including YouTube itself, right?
