Not to mention cp, because you just know there are sick fucks out there.
---

God the stress that must come with viewing all that imagery. >_<
---

I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to handle seeing that kinda shit every single day.
---

I should sign up for this since I'm pretty much desensitized to the world already. Might as well prevent others from suffering

Read it. Its so much more than just what they see.

Politics, religion, personal privacy, cultural diversity, sports, news, and moderating. Facebook has been literally the root of all evil and Darth Fuckerberg couldn't give a single shit about any of this.

But no desensitized enough to not be triggered by Resetera?

I feel like I saw a very similar article not too long ago from a different news site

edit: I'm dumb it was the same site and there's even a link to that article in this one

Desensitized or not, the working conditions sound completely unacceptable and these people make less than the median income for their area. The content they have to look at is only a part of this nightmare
---

Crazy that anyone would tolerate that kind of shit longer than a day.

It sounds like at least some of them expected it to lead to a better job
---

At least they get paid, other moderators on various other sites including that hellhole 4chan do it for free. Gamefaqs moderators have been exposed to horrible shit,too especially back during the brawl board's hey days.
---

I heard that they only get fed two times a day.
---

lol @ the 2 heifers calling facebook a sweatshop. looks like they haven't seen a gym in 30 years
---

I heard the same thing from the guys who moderate google image search

All they see all day is child porn and gore
---

At Facebooks worst-performing content moderation site in North America, one contractor has died, and others say they fear for their lives.
---

That's why some people fight for unions. But whatever.

-Unions would stop this?
-Would you want a union here?
---

Sounds like most call center work except replace shitty customers with CP and gore.

It's worth noting that "worst performing" means their office averages a 92% accuracy rate

Fuck facebook.

A doctor told me my DNA was backwards. I replied: "And?"

The biggest tragedy is that facebook mods get paid while https colon forward slash forward slash gamefaqs dot gamespot dot com moderators don't

I don't really think it's comparable at all.

But thanks for caring about us :D

GameFAQs is like, 1/10000th the size of Facebook
