"the company recently announced it will have 10,000 employees focused on the task" I can't wrap my head around that number. How can that be true?
Maybe most of them are not exactly google full time employees?
I’m not a vet, so I won’t comment on the subject itself, but on a related note, I always found “Google Preferred” to be a bizarre naming choice. Why would a global, and generally loved brand, use the name of another to market a product?
My feeling is that at some point they will manage the top tier of their premium contributors more like traditional content production. Idea people, writers, producers and someone who vets the output yay/nay and takes full responsibility for the release of the content. None of this "the views of [contributor] do not represent the values of our company" BS.
Of course, that means more money, less profit but would make things for advertisers palatable.

YouTube is owned by Google.
In the eyes of many consumers they’re unrelated because they’ve up until now pushed very separate branding.

Well, when we say "you", we mean more like "we".
Or, if you prefer, think of "you" as "TV". TV Tube!

Contractor, like Call center employees. Probably from outsourcing firms. And, this number seems...low? Considering the sheer amount of videos upload even just from partners. I guess those platforms are growing so large and influential, censoring is inevitable now.
In some ways, moderating all the good content might give you a break.. I imagine they probably won't cross with other such jobs though.
As a society, online really seems to bring out some of the worst in people; and I figure there is not a set of valued peers around you to try and influence your behaviour for the better.

Casually calling contractors employees to the press seems like a decent way to open yourself up to a employment status lawsuits.
