It doesn’t work. These automated systems are flagging a (presumably) benign site and an article yesterday regarding their $5M lawsuit for running a scam ad on their SERP for “Coinbase support” suggest the automated systems can be bypassed too.

I’m not saying automated detection can’t be a part of it, but we shouldn’t accept companies automating away decision making as if computer-derived errors are acceptable.

The larger point is that Google isn’t exactly strapped for cash. They could hire an army of reviewers. They just don’t.
