YOUTUBE QUOTES:
On YouTube, you don’t have to have a master production plan that requires months to produce before going before a huge audience. Instead, it starts small and builds up over time. The phenomenon where small experiments aggregate a genre happens over very long periods of time in other areas like literature, but on YouTube, the speed is incredible.
Kevin Allocca, Head of Culture and Trends of Youtube
I think that our systems are human-machine-human. Machines help us scale. Human judgment is required to be able to tell the difference between a dangerous trending challenge and a news report warning about that trend, or the difference between depictions of violence and a group documenting human rights abuse.
Neal Mohan, Chief Product Officer of Youtube
