not that I wish this on anyone but you would change your mind very quickly if you had to do this job for just one hour. it can fuck you up for life
- alephnerd 9mo agoSo can working in the unorganized sector in the heart of the Red Corridor. Like this is literally one of the least developed parts of one of the least developed states in India. A tribal woman like Murmu who is clearly living in the Red Corridor districts (based on surname and geographic location) doesn't have any better choice. Yes content moderation introduces you to horrid content, but the alternatives give the very real risk of physical and sexual violence.
- golem14 9mo agoI don't think anyone is disputing that this job is terrible, it clearly is. The counter argument is that many other jobs are also terrible, and it's not clear whether you can really stack rank them and this one is at the bottom of the pole.
- throwaway290 9mo agoThe counter counter argument is that we all talking here know what manual job or not getting paid feels like. But we don't know what it does to you if you have a job where you must watch humans hurt/torture/rape other humans day in day out. we know what work feels like. Maybe it's better maybe it's worse. But we don't know personally and have no intuition about THIS kind of stuff.
- greygoo222 9mo agoI feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Am I just too old? What do you mean, people on this forum have no intuition about what watching gore videos online is like? About watching hours of ordinary porn (as the article also mentioned)? That's more likely to be within the experience of a HackerNews user than serious manual labor.
- throwaway290 9mo agoI mean literally what I wrote. > people on this forum have no intuition about what watching gore videos online is like as a job day in day out no they don't (also abuse is not gore which can be consensual) (also HN is mostly men aka people who statistically are performers of abuse not receivers of abuse so adjust accordingly)
- greygoo222 9mo agoI guarantee you approximately nothing on LiveLeak was consensual. Consensual cartel executions? Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime than women. Adjust according to what?
- throwaway290 9mo agoI am replying to the term "gore" which means violence and violence could in rare cases be consensual, > according to what? to the fact that men are more likely to be perpetrators:)
- greygoo222 9mo agoThis is utterly ridiculous. The majority of teens I knew watched a few hours of LiveLeak at some point and turned out fine.
- throwaway290 9mo agoYeah and you for sure know what went through all of their heads. If a kid enjoys it it's a very big red flag. If a kid is horrified by it (as I was) even if pretending to be cool in front of peers, then there you have your answer as to what it must feel to do it every day 9 to 7.
- greygoo222 9mo agoLots of people just aren't that bothered by gore videos and they are well-adjusted members of society, I dunno what to tell you.
- throwaway290 9mo ago> Lots of people just aren't that bothered by gore videos and here again you are alluding to that access you have to what goes on in other people's heads. although of course "lots of" is relative. i'd say 0.01% of population is lots enough in this case. > they are well-adjusted members of society a psycho can function just great in society. maybe this work is great for a psycho. however, majority of people aren't that. > I dunno what to tell you. right back at ya buddy
- fragmede 9mo agoa few hours! Watching it for 40+ hours a week for months on end is going to fuck you up more than a casual perusal of a shock website.
