Reddit works just fine. Where there is a will, there is a way. I do believe (without proof) that incentives for Google are misaligned here.

So while Reddit is huge, I don't think it's even close to the same scale as Google. And problems at Google's scale are hard to compare to smaller scenarios.

But I do agree with your 2nd point about misaligned incentives though. I don't think "how do we ensure that every user can get fair support" was ever on any product roadmap for these free global-scale products..

Or more accurately, the "users" in this case are the advertisers, not the uploaders.

This isn't correct. I've just been discussing the shadowbanning/appeal system with Huffman because it doesn't work right now.
Reddit is definitely a different beast, it's easier to admin and has unpaid community moderators who pick up pretty much all the grunt work
