I'm a content moderator. I do in fact see the worst the internet has to offer and at the end of the day you are mentally exhausted but you have to keep in mind, there are a lot of jobs like this where people are exposed day in and day out to the worst humanity has to offer. A lot quit, a lot can't stomach it, and it changes some people's attitudes about the world, but as with this job or any other in the same boat, someone has to do it. I compartmentalize my job and at the end of the day I unplug and go see the beauty of the world. I go hang out with my friends and people who have love and kindness in their hearts and I think of all those people whom I am helping not see what I have to see. Anyone who's had a job like this gets that. The minute you start believing that there is no good left in the world because of what you do, that's when you lose it and lose touch because the world will never be all good or all bad---it's a mix of both, but I'm doing my little part in the grand scheme of things to help push the line to add more good back into the world for others.

These people deserve massive bonuses. The long term effect is unknown sadly. And the worst part is they probably make a pittance.

Compelling, to say the least. These style of documentaries offer the most accurate depictions of a story and issues surrounding it, because they never end with a clear message or a clear answer. In life, things are never black-and-white but fall in grey areas like these

These are special people for sure. God Bless them and keep their mental health intact. 🙏❤️

A sensible, balanced and engaging piece of work - full credit to the producers. I learnt something today, thank you :)

This is another A+ documentary.

Now we know who decides what we see and what we don't. In another documentary about content moderators on the Philippines it was pointed out that NGOs who prosecute war crimes have a hard time because pictorial proof of atrocities are immediately deleted after being uploaded. There's many sides to it. I find it incredible that they only have 2 seconds to decide whether to delete a photo or not. What a tough job!

Thanks to all moderators that we can smoothly watch internet.

This is the kind of job that only psychopaths should do. At least then they would be doing the world a big favour. This job would be way too much for me, I’m too much of an empath. I wouldn’t wanna have to look at animal abuse and child porn throughout my whole entire shifts. Humanity is sick.

Thank you Team for creating this type of content, you guys are doing a great job.

As an American I oppose censorship but as a member of the international society I see the enormous need for it. It's all about perspective and a willingness to place oneself in the shoes of others.

Amazing Documentary about Social Media Moderator, I've an interview tomorrow and honestly i learn so much with this, Thank you

Probably one of the sickest job on earth. Cleaning up all the crazy shit this sick civilization has to share on line. I wonder how they can sleep at night while digesting and processing all these horror in their mind. O_O

I am starting this job, in a few days. Wish me luck guys 😊

Props for using the image from Story of O, though - great film, great soundtrack, great book.

The kind of human resource handling this extremely sensitive issue is bizzare

10/10 truly unique ❤

I am so glad to be a content moderator

This is very informative, I learned a lot today, Thank you so much ✨

Its too bad that Moderators don't get paid much for their hard work.

Now, I fully understand what content moderator was, even though in this video the scenario isn't that bad as what I expected. It showed only minimal nudity images not violent videos. I think I am ready to accept this kind of job and be challenged. I have incoming interviews this weekday from one of the BPO companies here in the Philippines. I hope I could pass the interview and get this quite rare job.

11:11 those guys are thinking "...hey I'm liken this job so far!"

Nice content and very much informative. One suggestion, do add names of the people who have been shown in the documentry along with the off screen staff.

how can I get more information about this job.

No doubt these guys have seen my spicy memes.

Firstly I don't know about the moderation. thank you for the explanation. I'm also searching for a job in moderation

Good people cleaning our internet from all the harms

Very interesting indeed eh, nice .

how these moderators process all the shit they see on everyday basis?

Can someone find such a job for me. Where should I contact for this job? If anyone can then please tell me.

I got really interested in this topic after bbc radio 4 digital human

Thanks for the vid

I have just applied for this role. Although I am a bit amazed at how content moderation has evolved with the help of AI. And want to know exactly up to which level there is graphic and explicit content posted by people. Honestly these kinda explicit content doesn't affect me. What affects me is people showing empathy and Humanity these days. I barely get shocked knowing things like this happen all around the internet.

How can we get this job

“You can’t do even a single error” Dude, we’re only human we make mistakes.

Today is my interview

“Butt part”

The video should've started from 3:00 and the blanks scenes should've been filled by text or a voice. I am not saying that it is a bad video, but as a video about internet... this video doesn't understand the value of people's time. You have to understand what a viewer wants. They want it good and they want it quicker

Dear god, is it too late to pull the plug on the human race? Seriously! But what a brilliant documentary - in equal measure it is disturbing and depressing. Things that cannot be unseen. These employees must suffer PTSD after day 1... Talk about 'emotional labour', this is off the scale - all so that some freak can get their kicks on the internet. Despair.

What do content moderators go on to do after being moderators. What are the career prospects?

its a sick f**king world

Thanks, visit

grat help for further

I feel bad for those whose first job was to be a moderator

I’m starting to be a content moderator soon.

Who is here from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver?

🙏🏼🥺🙏🏼

I want know that Is this job is good or bad. Because accenture offer me this job and I accepted offer. I do or not? Anyone reply me

I was offered a content moderator role. Should I take it?

Is this secretly recorded or what ?

25 sick minded people who post disgusting stuff on social media disliked this video

. I quit but somehow I still have nightmares about it. Is an inhumane job, my life is not the same.

Oh man, I´ll start in a position as content moderator, next month, so now I feel pretty scary...

What about they retrace people who posts that kind of nasty shit online and make them forcefully do time by helping Facebook and other social medias to moderate their medias? Then we fine them or put them in jail so they don't do it again.

How to apply for this job?

I wish we had these jobs in America!

anyone pls help me be part of this industry

This is the same role " market specialist at Facebook " does and they are paid 1 lac per month

Why Brad Pitt?

A company named "Teleperformance" is making TikTok content moderation in Tunisia , and who work there are getting paid 0.75$ an hour. More than 1000 people working 24/7 to moderate tiktok videos for the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. I don't know when this modern slavery gonna end

The office (India)

Nice...I would like to join this job...I am so excited❤️

What is the average salary of content moderator?

A person doing this job should work less hours and paid more than full

Exporting depravity. People who never knew of these things being slimed by the sickness of the “developed “ world. Yes, you know the posters are mostly from so called “developed nations.” I am sure these workers could be contributing so much more to humanity, but sadly this is the work we ask them to do. May they be protected and blessed. Gatekeepers protecting society. Cleaning up the physic mess.

There are the reasons why we don't see tons of shit in the Internet

15:40 did they just show a nsked child buyt

Seems like a cool job would do it.

Who needs the dark web when there are Facebook moderator jobs.

Please pay more salary or this ki nd job plz

Thank you, John Oliver, for the comedic gold

It's disgusting snd inhumane that people have to wade through extremely disturbing content - there should be A1 technology to do this but whilst there isn't they should be paid a fortune for their endeavours and receive daily at work counselling .

This is why machine learning may help. Bots need to take down this content. Sad though, is that real people still do these things, hurting animals, abuse etc.

someone offer me a job of content moderator. now i have second thoughts

this job is not gonna last long , i think pretty soon AI will replace this

Who the fuck checks the content moderators if they are doing their job right? If i worked there, i would just randomly choose what's appropriate and what's not, would just target the quota.

Human beings are the worst species.

sir i am intrested i m video content moderator ph web site

11:41 He's clearly focusing on butt part

His face 12:26

I feel sorry for these people, having to do this all day everyday , especially people from their culture and religious traditions for low pay , they don't mention the political things they have to moderate, it's a sad occupation for these people who have to poison their minds all day everyday..I'm against censorship so I'm not in favour of any of this. I do feel sorry for these people, doing the dirty work for westerners.

snitches and big tech censorship not cool

Looks like the same folks that keep calling about my SSN being cancelled.

Field of vision: The criminals. The fact a lot of mods live in a shit hole country just isn't good enough.

This place doesn't look like office It's like Krishna cottage devil apartment

He said "TO ME IT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMPACT"... Wow... No SYMPATHY.. What kind of a person are you? Emotion less & Human less.. That's not a good sign bro

11:11 those guys are thinking "...hey I'm liken this job so far!"
