Flagged videos aren&#x27;t removed automatically; a human reviews them first. It would probably be better if it was more automated, because humans make mistakes and machines don&#x27;t get tired after a long day of reviewing videos.<p><i>&quot;YouTube staff review flagged videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and videos that violate our Community Guidelines are removed from YouTube.<p>...<p>Flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the flagging system. If a video doesn&#x27;t violate our guidelines, no amount of flagging will change that, and the video will stay on the site.&quot;</i><p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;youtube&#x2F;answer&#x2F;2802027?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;youtube&#x2F;answer&#x2F;2802027?hl=en</a>
