but surely a lot of that is automated, no?

You know, ppl have tried to automate it in its totality. They've tried to make it 50/50, but it turns out there's not much to automate. Sure you can automate copyright claims on media sources, but that's about it. As soon as there's any complexity to it, human review is necessary. You have to appreciate that content moderation mistakes can have a ripple effect into platform integrity and company image as well as user experience. The risks are easy to underestimate.

Oh sure. I'm just saying that a big chunk of it can be automated, so you're left with manual review of clips that either users or bots generate. That's a big workload, but how many people are we talking? 50? 500? I'm guessing it's closer to 50 than 500, but I don't really know.
