Summary
Introduced the Violative View Rate (VVR) metric to measure the percentage of views on YouTube that come from violative content. This metric is calculated by sampling videos and having content reviewers identify violations. The post details the methodology and historical VVR data, showing a significant decrease since 2017 due to investments in machine learning. The VVR is intended to provide greater transparency and accountability around content moderation efforts and to identify areas for improvement in protecting viewers from harmful content.
