Over 224 million comments were also taken down

YouTube removed 7.8 million videos during the third quarter of 2018, with 81 percent of those videos originally detected by machines and 74.5 percent of those that were detected by machines never receiving a single view, it revealed in its most recent community guidelines enforcement report.

The Google-owned video site said in a blog post that more than 90 percent of channels and over 80 percent of videos removed in September were pulled for violating its policies on spam or adult content.
