About 300 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube. The site has now published how much of the video has to be removed from it.
YouTube has released their new quarterly report, highlighting how the content violates the terms and conditions of the platform.
The report titled 'YouTube Community Guidelines Enforcement Report', has removed over 80 million objectionable videos from the platform from October 017 to December 2017.
Most of these 80 million videos were spam or adult content. Surprisingly, in this, 67 million objectionable videos were not identified first by users' reports, but were identified by YouTube's own technology. 76 percent of the videos were deleted before the video was viewed.
On April 23, a spokesman at YouTube's blogpost said, "For example, in the beginning of the year, 8 percent of video content of violent extremists was deleted before less than 10 views. In June 2017 we added the milling learning technology to identify offensive video, now that videos of violent extremists are being identified and deleted, half the number of videos are less than 10 times.
You may think that adding machine learning technology will reduce the number of users reviews, but YouTube has said that the opposite will happen.
The YouTube spokesperson said, "Our technology determines whether the policy violates the policy based on human review."
In a statement in YouTube, YouTube said in a statement that in 2012, the number of employees working to deal with such video violations will be brought by 10 thousand this year.
