Insta limited

Yea, let's cut the discussion short: the report system needs work.

Serj 🇧🇾 Dernakov:

But there is a chance it working perfectly with 99.999% accuracy.

According to different reports, from 40% to 80% of all emails are just spam emails. And in your spam folder you see only a small percentage of those spam mails.

Try to guesstimate a number of actual spammers and actual reports [in Telegram]?

There are 15bln messages daily. Lets say only 1% are spam. So 150mln of spam messages. Let's say 90% are caught automatically. So we have 15mln of uncaught spam messages daily.

Let's imagine only 10% of those get reported (lazy admins or whatever). That's still 1.5 million reports daily.

And you only hear complaints about people getting reported and limited when it was a mistake, and don't think about all the other cases.

So with this scale it can easily be the most perfect solution possible. (or not)

A:

What I'm reading here is "we need more people to review reports and more automated filtering", I agree with one of those things 🤔

Serj 🇧🇾 Dernakov:

What i'm saying is that we don't know how well their system is working.

I really don't want another youtube catastrophe, when algorithms were working almost perfectly, and then some media tried so hard to sensationalize non-existing problems based on small cases. And now everything is bad (and will be for 2-3 years)
