Meanwhile, YT Shorts sees me watch one video then gives me nothing but that.
The question for me is not what margins the feature is performing on, as they will likely be better than human error raters, but how they market the product irresponsiblely.

This is just as lopsided and reactionist of a response as government regulated screen time. We already regulate lots of things for children/minors that could be called unnecessary under the umbrella of 'parent better.' Labor, tobacco/alcohol, gambling, etc.

You disagree that they have hardware issues because they handled your return well when you had... hardware issues?
Let's charge 8$/month for verification maybe add a checkmark so people know!
Loads of videos don't have those either. I watched three to four car repair videos yesterday and none had sponsored segments.
Some of my followed creators have them, but they are the minority. I'd love to see some overall stats, as my experience may not be the norm.
That's the point, we must eradicate all the bugs (and bots).
