Hopefully people would choose wisely and at least try to have some feel of a community before deciding to take on moderation duties
It’s valuable no doubt but it’s also littered with petty tyrants, power hungry nerds seeking an outlet for their lack of power elsewhere, and people acting with little regard for wider impact of their choices besides their own emotions and ideological quirks. The type of stuff that would never fly in other socially respected jobs.
I personally don’t see it as some sort of career promotion thing. But I’m sure it’s valuable to jobs that have to deal with people everyday, but don’t necessarily have any strong consequences for decisions or top down/societal oversight… like retail and low level sales jobs.
You're saying janitors/unemployed peoples are a demographic? Come now. Anyone can be unemployed or a janitor.
that aside, instead of focusing on upskilling or whatever else, you want unemployed people to spend their days as internet jannies?
now add to this all the recent reports about how being a jannie destroys mental health from all the awful things people post, why would a demographic that already has bad mental health and higher suicide rates do that?
