Honestly, I'd rather the channel have the first say here. It would be even better if some independent mod team could override channel owners though if there are enough reports.

Enough reports is how brigades are effective.

There isn't a great solution that solves all the possibilities, it is a difficult problem. An independent mod team sounds great until you get into the details of how they are formed and the fact that they are people too who might miss nuance or hold their own shitty opinions.

Sure, but a manual review is way better than any form of automated system. To combat brigading, the mod team could issue temporary suspensions if that's deemed to be the case, and full bans if the behavior is repeated.

It would be quite expensive for YouTube to do that, so it's not happening. Best we're getting is some automated nonsense, probably based on AI.
