Modest proposal: Find people who enjoy horrific content, and have them rate it. Then black-hole whatever they rate as most extreme.
I was is a dark place after 9/11, both from the trauma of that, and some personal issues. So I spent considerable time on Rotten, Something Awful, and worse. Based on that experience, many would likely do content moderation for free.
These media stories always focus on those who picked the wrong job for their caracter, and then make a big drama of it.
I mean, there are people cutting open other humans daily. We call them surgeons. I would puke right there and could never do that. Different people have different abilities. Simple.
Thanks for sharing that part about being in that kind of place, I have a feeling many could relate.
Yup - these are exactly the kind of people you want to rub shoulders, and stock your company's ranks with.
I also get the downside of employing them. But people need to look at that stuff, even if software does most of the work. So it might as well be people who can tolerate it, and perhaps even enjoy it.
