I was blackmailed – any YouTuber could be next
This might not be a popular opinion, but I feel like YouTube is doing their best with a really hard problem.<p>I see a lot of people complaining about things like this, but I also see a lot of people complaining that YouTube&#x2F;Twitter&#x2F;etc aren&#x27;t doing enough to take down false&#x2F;immoral&#x2F;illegal content quick enough. [1]<p>It really sucks when a legitimate video is taken down by mistake. But it also really sucks when revenge porn is left up. YouTube is doing it&#x27;s best to blend automation (fast but inaccurate) with human curation (more thoughtful but slower), and sometimes it gets it wrong.<p>I feel like most of the time I see posts like this, the situation is resolved favorably and relatively quickly. YouTube is dealing with two opposing issues, and is constantly doing its best to find a fair middle ground.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23316660" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=23316660</a>
