They could just manually review the videos the algo flagged as potentially ban worthy. It might even given YT an incentive to hone their algorithm to be more accurate since it would reduce their bottom-line.



Right. The algorithm should just identify videos that need to be reviewed, not ban them. It should also be a sliding scale. If a video has 5 total views, it shouldn't need a ban or a review because no one is watching it. Places like this chess channel with a million subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views per video should all easily get a manually review. Automating bans for channels with that level of a following is just lack of respect for their content producers.
