>If you aren't willing to report this to Google, then no, they are unlikely to "find" the site and remove it.

It has repeatedly been stated from Google' side that Google prefers not to act on sites manually. Instead they try to approach the problem with slight tweaks of the algo/filters.

It's obvious that a human reviewing each and every snitch and complaint would blow Google's cost controll out of the water in no time.

Yes, they most likely will do a manual removal or penalty every once in a while. And that's it.
