I've read about the PTSD that human content reviewers suffer from, the job sounds like hell. You're exposed to the most upsetting images humanity can produce, and you're supposed to view thousands of pictures a day. I was wondering if many measures to reduce the trauma are already in place? You could show a small thumbnail, or black out most of the picture, or maybe blur everything except a small part of the image. Definitely a difficult job, I wish they were better treated.

Yeah, those social network moderators are living a hard life. I'd like to think there is a lot less requirement for that now that AI is around, but someone is still doing that job. With the legit porn sites, the main purpose of the checks is to avoid creators uploading anything without verified third parties in it. If they uploaded anything outrageous like CSAM their account would be terminated along with all their revenue, so at least for the Pornhubs of this world their human moderators are probably not seeing very much of the really fucked up shit. BUT, saying that, they are seeing a lot of really, really weird porn. Pornhub still allows shit that is technically legal, but would be off-putting to a lot of moderators being paid 50 cents an hour.

When I was working for Kink, as a joke, we picked MaleWank as the first site to convert to the new platform that we were building (as software engineers). Mostly because the site had been retired and wasn't generating new content. This meant working directly with all of the content, repeated many times, on the site for many months. Trust me, I'll never forget it.
