I think the downvotes on this post are unfair. While, the tone could be construed as lacking in empathy, and the article clearly states that users are exposed to videos, the question can definitely be rephrased as a valid one. When reading the accounts of the moderators, I of course immediately felt sorry for them - it must be pretty harrowing to watch a constant barrage of child porn, murders and gore (think being on /b/).I imagine it would leave you feeling pretty jaded and losing faith in humanity. But my second thought went to all my friends who are doctors and see terrible injuries and ailments on a daily basis, or criminal lawyers who review cases which revolve around the gutter of human behaviour. What is the PTSD incidence rate amongst these two professions? What sparks PTSD? Is it the context by which the triggering events are presented? Are lawyers and doctors more resilient to this as there is an expectation to be exposed to these types of things, and therefore the professions are self-selecting? Is it the relentless barrage of content which affected the moderators? Or was it the lack of empowerment wrt doctors/lawyers to make an impact on these things? Going forward what can we do to better prepare moderators for this?
