Well, you would need to have one employee for each hour of video. So, that's 72 employees. But since 72 employees can't watch an hour of video in a minute, we need to increase that to an hour. That sharply increases to 4320 employees, with each one screening 1 hour of content every hour, assuming they're required to look over every little bit of content.
Let's say they're required to take breaks. Tack on an extra 680 employees for a nice round number of 5000 employees. What about finding out if something is copyrighted? That's an extra 1000 employees confirming that something is copyrighted in addition to the 5000 initial screeners. 6000 employees.
Now, let's assume those 6000 working 8-hour shifts. But wait, there's content being uploaded 24/7. So now we have at least 18,000 employees. Taking sick leave and vacations into account, we need maybe at least 2000 more employees to fill in for those.
Now, those 20,000 employees have to be paid. Let's assume they're being paid modestly at $22 an hour. (I don't know enough about salaries to give a fuck about calculating that)
That's $440,000 dollars to those employees. Per hour. $10,560,000 per day. $147,840,000 every 2 weeks. That's $2,620,800,000. $3,843,840,000 every year.
