"Most of the demands for more content moderation come from people who
claim to be well-meaning, hoping to protect innocent viewers (often
"think of the children!") from awful, awful content. But, of course, it
also means making these thousands of employees continuously look at
highly questionable, offensive, horrific or incomprehensible content for
hours on end. Over the last few years, there's been quite a reasonable
and growing concern about the lives of all of those content moderators."
