Wanted to point out that “Just take the decision to not carry those ads” isn’t as easy when you’re at YT scale. Not excusing them but I think we all understand the challenges of content moderation at scale for organic content — now amplify that for paid content where the incentives get even thornier.
Yes YT should invest more in review and policy work — but it’s a forever expanding cost with no silver bullet.
I appreciate there’s a least a price and option for ads-free.
