Behind TikTok's boom: A legion of traumatized, $10-a-day content moderators
What's most disturbing is the realization that a measurable percentage of humans are just f*cked up.<p>Considering how many reports there are of Facebook, Youtube, Tiktok, and other sites where content moderators are suffering from having to perform their jobs, it suggests that there's a great deal of really terrible stuff going on - and worse, that the people involved are filming and attempting to share it.<p>This is a serious thing, and it paints humanity as being far darker than it would seem from the surface.  It also suggests that the apocalyptic movies may not be so far off when they suggest that humanity will revert to open barbarism if we're faced with a catastrophy large enough.
