During an appearance at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) Global Technology Governance Summit 2021, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki discussed how the platform has increased the volume of videos it removes and vowed to further reduced the total views on videos that violate its policies.
Wojcicki was interviewed by The Atlantic’s CEO, Nicholas Thompson, and discussed the release of a new metric that YouTube recently added to its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report – Violative View Rate (VVR).
This metric estimates the percentage of the views on YouTube that come from violative content and essentially showcases the speed with which YouTube is censoring content. A low VVR signals that most of the content YouTube removes is taken down before viewers have a chance to watch it.
YouTube reports that its VVR for Q4 2020 was 0.16-0.18% – a 70% reduction compared with the same quarter in 2017.
