It seems to me that a youtube moderator has to moderate things ranging from a simple boob on screen to the most atrocious acts you can imagine.

Is like telling the garbage collector that picks up the thrash in your neighborhood to go to a melted reactor to pick up a bag because, hey, his/her job is to collect garbage. Would it be unfair treatment?

... but yet noone would be surprised at all if someone found a baby, mutilated animal, dead homeless, toxic wasted, etc. in a dumpster

But, due to the labor organization, they have the healthcare guarantee to have their traumas addressed.

Do the YouTube moderators have the same?

What are you talking about. I would be horrified (and yes, also: surprised) to find anything like that in a dumpster. You live in a scary place.
