I knew a facebook mod who worked in San Francisco. They made $20/hr in like 2018, not enough to live on in most small cities. Every day they’d be rotated through different queues based on the type of content. A full day of sitting there in the animal abuse queue having to watch thousands of psychopathic videos to find the fraction which violate the terms of service. The next day they’d have to watch 8 hours of cartel executions or war footage or child abuse or Nazi propaganda. Their coworkers would openly use drugs throughout their shift to cope and their level of PTSD from it was comparable to mine working in paramedicine. It’s an absolutely demonic job.
