While this is an interesting topic I feel this documentation did not explore it in a very meaningful way, and it was not worth watching.
My main takeaways: they process 2000 pictures per hour per moderator, which translates to 1.8 seconds per picture. They show (parts of) the training process for new moderators in south Asia (India i think), and for all of them this is their first job at all, and I assume they are largely motivated to just get any experience and something on their resume. Because of their religious and cultural background the content they need to filter out has a greater taboo and possible psychological damage than I'd attribute to the average user of those platforms. Because they don't show it, I'm left to believe they will not be trained how to deal with the psychological effects of their job.
I only know how damaging this job can be for the moderators from other articles I read previously. Only that knowledge puts this in any meaningful perspective, by putting real faces to this ungrateful job.
