> no one internally seeing any juicy line item on their performance review
Pretty much. There are countless pipelines producing ad placements and feed recommendations, or flagging some kind of content. Each one might have produced a good result at one time, getting someone a good review, but that time is long gone and probably so is the person. Nobody wants to mess with it lest they trigger a loss of engagement/revenue. Safer to just keep adding more.
There are thousands of people at Facebook, both data scientists and moderators, sincerely trying to fight the good fight. I respect their efforts, but there's no way they can win against a multi-billion-dollar physical manifestation of technical and organizational hubris.
