The job is to view an endless parade of the most creatively horrible things people have ever said to each other or captured on film, all day every day.
The job itself requires you to actually scrutinize the details-- averting your eyes is not an option. The job is to look at and mentally process each artifact.
Violence in our origins at least had a point. Kill for survival. Kill for food. Killing meant something.
Raping children never served any biological purpose, nor does watching actual people explode. There are many reasons we try to make the world such that neither is a part of anybody's life.
(ed) Put it this way-- if it's so harmless for people to be exposed to, why moderate anything at all?
- meruru 7y agoYeah, to be honest I wrote that before reading the article and I was painting a much rosier picture than what it was described. I do wonder what is the distribution of content they have to moderate. Is it a continuous stream of violence or is that something that appears once or twice a day? >if it's so harmless for people to be exposed to, why moderate anything at all? Obviously if the public doesn't like it enough, you're going to moderate it away. Some places don't even allow cleavage, so it's not like something has to be harmful to be moderated.
