Imagine sitting at a screen for 8 or 9 hours a day, staring at endless photos ranging from child abuse to child porn, BDSM, violence, blood, gore, and that is barely, barely scratching the surface. Having to make flash decisions about the worst of the worst of the worst of humanity. All day. Every day. For not much pay. And minimal psychological/mental health support.

wise judgments about subtle shades of meaning from, say, satirical material.
