YouTube moderators reportedly review up to 300 pieces of content every day
Similar to Meta, YouTue also employs an armada of contract workers to work alongside its AI detection systems to keep its platform relatively toxicity free. Former moderators, some of which have filed lawsuits against the company, claim they were expected to review 100 to 300 pieces of content per day with an expected error rate of between 2% and 5%. hose vidoes ran the gambit of horrible online content and reportedly include videos of animal mutilation, child rape and murder. The former moderators say they weren’t given the proper records to cope with that burden. In some case, according to a former YouTube moderator, contractors had to pay for their own medical treatment to deal with the trauma spurred by the work.
