Your Life as a Moderator trapped inside the social media machine - Your Life In Machine

Описание: You are twenty-four years old, sitting in a windowless room in a humid city, thousands of miles away from the people you are protecting. In this life, you are a Content Moderator, the invisible filter between a clean internet and the darkness of humanity.
Most people scroll through their feeds without thinking, assuming safety is automatic. But in reality, safety is a manual job performed by thousands of workers in click-farms, paid minimum wage to watch the worst videos on earth—violence, abuse, and hatred—so that users don't have to. You have seconds to decide, strict quotas to meet, and no way to pause the horror.
This story explores the psychological toll of the "clean up" industry, where human empathy is burned out like a resource, and where the system demands you become a robot to survive. You will see how the corporate machine tracks your every click, how trauma seeps into your sleep, and how easily you are replaced when you finally break.
This episode is part of a series where every video puts you inside a different broken system, so you can feel how it really works from the inside.
