A coworker once said he was a content reviewer for YouTube for some time. He received in dollar in a 3rd world country and said it was a pretty easy job to do, aside from being full WFH. Certainly not the worst job out there.
Maybe YouTube gets less of the bad stuff than some other sites; or maybe they’re better at detecting it with AI. Facebook content moderators seem to have a pretty bad time.
This really just depends on how desensitized the person reviewing the content is. I imagine most of us that grew up exposed to the internet in the late 90s and early 2000s are pretty desensitized to violence and grossness.
Stuff involving kids is hard to get desensitized to for most people, though. That’s the truly hard job. The ones who have to review things like child abuse materials.
