YouTube removed 58 million videos that posted hateful or inappropriate content in three months.
A spokeswoman for the company said a new algorithm will work to stamp out problematic content but those spreading the material are likely to stay ahead of the tech company.
YouTube said the videos removed mainly had inappropriate adult content or spam, but it did not offer much insight into how it is managing the large amount of hateful or conspiratorial videos.
A spokeswoman said the company, owned by Google, is confident a new algorithm will work to stamp out inappropriate content.
But freelance writer Stilgherrian said the mere size of YouTube makes it virtually impossible to capture every hateful video or abusive content.
He said while the company maintains its technology to pick up such content is becoming more sophisticated, so are the techniques of those who want to spread hatred or far‑right propaganda.
