Thanks—although I instinctively know that a title like this would get downvoted so heavily, I don’t fully understand why. The title seems to me to be true and I doubt many would argue with that statement, although of course it doesn’t describe the content in the post at all. Is the downvoting because it is non-specific and making a generalisation? Could there be an element of vague pro-capitalism and anti socialist sentiment around here which caused it to be downvoted too?
I like Rockwell’s idea to republish under a different name. This seems to me like an important issue which I would love to engage with. For example from my Uganda-centric perspective $2 an hour seems like a pretty good wage to me for this kind of work in Kenya, but obviously these replies will never get seen given the downvoting of the post ;).
My current opinion is that title and content are both unprofessional enough despite saying some truths.
2$ an hour is payment better than no payment in “Uganda-centric perspective”, but this work is creating mental health patients in a country where people cannot receive good support.
On the other hand, I doubt that any country can provide proper support for work where people have to consume the most disturbing content that exist.
It is a tough problem, but it should not be exported to a developing country to deal with, where people don’t have any other choice but take any worst job that comes their way.
