I'm not saying that the public should pay for it. I'm just saying that it would be a massive undertaking to categorize the videos. Porn seems to me that it would be easier to detect automatically. There are specific images they can be used to detect such content

General content is more difficult because it's hard for ai to distinguish, say, legitimate discussion over trans inclusion vs transphobic hate speech disguised using bad faith arguments

And in order to demonetize and not promote those videos, we need to first figure out which videos those are

Then the big problem is how do you categorize the video? Content creators will not voluntarily categorize their content in such a way that will reduce visibility. Text filtering can only go so far and content creators will find ways around it

The only certain way to do so is via manual content moderation. 500 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube per minute. That's a massive task. Anything else will allow some videos to get though

Maybe eventually we can train ai to do this but currently we need people to do it. Let's say it takes 3 minutes to moderate 1 minute of video to allow moderators time to analyze, research, and take breaks

500 hrs/min x 60 min/ hour x 24 hours/day= 720000 hours of video uploaded

Multiply by 3 to get 2.16 million man hours of moderation per day. For a standard 8 hour shift, that requires 270,000 full time moderators to moderate just YouTube content

That's an unfeasible amount. That's not factoring in how brutal content moderation is

Even with moderation, you'll still have some videos slipping through

I agree that something needs to be done, but it must be understood the sheer scale that we're dealing with here means that a lot of "common sense" solutions don't work

At its core, a gastrique is a sweet and sour sauce. Usually the sugar source is caramelized to give some extra depth.

The components that actually make it sweet and sour can vary, so it might use fruit, caramel, wine, vinegar, etc

The amount of salt produced by desalination plants in staggering

We produced and 290 million metric tons of salt worldwide in 2021: https://www.statista.com/statistics/237162/worldwide-salt-production/

Seawater contains 3.5% salt and has a density of roughly 1020kg/m3, so a cubic meter of seawater has any 35.7kg of salt https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater

We generate tightly 95 million m3 of water from desalination plants per day globally https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination_by_country

That's about 3391.5 million kg of salt per day

290 million metric tons= 290,000 million tons

290,000/3391.5 = 85.5 days

If we processed the waste from desalination plants all the way into salt, we would fulfill the world's demand for salt in less than 3 months. That's assuming we don't produce salt from any other sources

We would end up with over 4 times the annual salt production on just the current amount of desalination

Shit like this is why I hate it when people try to gloss over Japan's atrocities in WW2. They committed acts as bad, if not worse than the Nazis
