I'm convinced that unionizing at this scale does not work. They'll always find cheaper people to do the grunt work which presumably is there only to teach the AI. Maybe when the AI is stable enough this AI "caretaker" position will take over and the burden of traumatic content will be alleviated. Maybe.
Up until then people should unionize. Do whatever it takes to create a workplace whichd by human eyes at all, or worst case just once.

Facebook won't do anything to help these moderaters unless the cost of the negative PR exceeds the cost of doing something. Engineers at FB could help achieve this by causing agitation, for sure.
Maybe the best solution is for the moderaters to unionize.

If you can think of a practical way to unionize workers on a 1-2 year contract with a high turnover rate, I'd love to hear it.
The deck is stacked against employee organizatio does not drain sanity from people.
Personally I understand browsing toxic content to foster "immunity" or at least familiarity. Doing it for money sounds like a lose-lose scenario. Call centers seem to sound better given the conditions.
