Updates

As of late, the app YouTube has been under scrutiny for its content. So to make the app more user-friendly and improve its reputation, YouTube has released a few updates.

First and foremost, among these changes is an increase in the number of moderators. There are now over 10,000 people working on reviewing videos and taking down anything that violates YouTube??s policies. This is in addition to improved algorithms that flag videos that may be inappropriate.

These measures seem to have an effect, as YouTube reports removing twice as many videos as they were before. In addition, over 8 million videos were taken down in the last quarter for violating policy.
