Exactly. A rogue moderator might make the wrong call on a video, but unlike an algorithm that call won't affect hundreds of videos at once. And also unlike an algorithm the moderator might be a different person the next day. So mistakes are not magnified the way they are with an algorithm.

There is but I am not terribly convinced the difference is employing a badly paid human.

Could this be a browser plugin? No idea how "invasive" a plugin can be, but ad-blockers and privacy plugins seem to be able to change a lot on webpages (including blocking ad videos on Youtube).
So theoretically it seems possible to build a plugin that moderates comments on web pages ... "No one expects things to be perfect" ... so it does not hurt to try?
The worst part isn't so much that mistakes get made, but the way those mistakes are dealt with, which is often a frustrating and silly experience.
