ouTube is finally admitting it has a major problem — and robots won’t be able to fix it.
Google’s video-streaming service said it plans to hire more than 10,000 new employees next year in a scramble to clamp down on the offensive and inappropriate content that has been plaguing its site.
Last month, it was revealed that pedophiles have been posting disgusting comments to videos of scantily clad children. That was after an uproar earlier this year over YouTube videos promoting terrorism and racists leaders like David Duke that had caused big advertisers to flee.
“We need an approach that does a better job determining which channels and videos should be eligible for advertising,” YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admitted in one of a pair of blog posts Monday.
The moves come as advertisers, regulators and advocacy groups express ongoing concern over whether YouTube’s policing of its service is sufficient.
YouTube has developed automated software to identify videos linked to extremism and now is aiming to do the same with clips that portray hate speech or are unsuitable for children. Uploaders whose videos are flagged by the software may be ineligible for generating ad revenue.
But amid stepped up enforcement, the company has received complaints from video uploaders that the software is error-prone.
“We’ve heard loud and clear from creators that we have to be more accurate when it comes to reviewing content, so we don’t demonetize videos by mistake,” she said.
In addition, Wojcicki said the company would take “aggressive action on comments, launching new comment moderation tools and in some cases shutting down comments altogether.”
Adding to the thousands of existing content reviewers will give YouTube more data to supply and possibly improve its machine learning software, she said.

Google has a hard time censoring Youtube videos because you have to watch the video and that takes a lot of time.
Nevertheless, it looks like they are going to CENSOR liberty minded people and conservatives. This is because the conservative liberty message is spreading across the Globe.
The good news is that it's hard to stop, because 300 hours of video is added every minute 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Plus I am sure other video web sites like Gab, that believe in free speech, will fill the void.

Be nice to get a bunch of right wingers doing that job. Problem is most right wingers spend their time contributing things of positive value to the world
The Doctor of Common Sense E.T. Williams was banned from youtube so he made another channel, The Truth Damit, which was also banned. (that is how he spelled dammit). If you google his name, you get lots of “errors.” You have to plug in his actual site name commonsensenation.net to get to it. He also has some videos on a site called pew tube and a twitter account.
In Delhi in all likelihood.
I’m glad I never saw that one-————there seemed to be an animal on the roof and it certainly wasn’t the dog.

Oh ok, So they hire 3000 “righties” and 7000 “lefties” to get a balanced approach. What a joke.
If Trump retweets, it'll become offensive...and not because of animal cruelty.
Hey! I’m game! GoogTube can hire me! I’m so, so, sooo offended by foul smelling social justice liberachos, that I’ll have a gas watching 24/7 their accounts get suspended!
They can have these jobs. Youtube will take a representative sample of frames for these goons to look at. I’ll bet they will expect them to do at least 6 videos a minute in this fashion. In the mean time, Youtube will be using the results to train their AI to do it automatically. Shitty jobs with lousy pay and no future, courtesy of the socially conscious moral titan Silicon Valley billionaires.
To be found offensive:
Anything Christian;
Anything Conservative;
Anything Historical on the period 620 AD to Present involving mention of islam or muslims;
Anything citing any text from Islamic doctrine by non-muslims;
Anything reflecting well on the US.
