Clearly Youtube actively removes porn before it even gets seen as far as I can tell, so you know they have people monitoring all new posts, therefore they cannot claim they don't watch them all.
Almost 30,000 hours of video is uploaded to youtube per day, I doubt they have people watching it all. It's more likely they're relying on keyword searches, statistics, user reports, and random sampling.

And yes, porn has made it onto youtube many a time. 4chan even dedicated an entire day to it.
