They'd prefer that as many posts are published, but they probably also don't mind some posts being removed if it meant saving a buck. When canada and australia implemented a "link tax", they were happy to ban all news content to avoid paying it.

This probably means fewer human reviewers reviewing a firehose, not the same number of human reviewers reviewing content at a slower rate.
