Content reviewer for big tech companies. It's your job to watch live video of all the things that are against all the rules. It doesn't matter if you don't know the language; screams are universal. You have to push a button if it's bad enough. They're trying as hard as they can to replace you with AI, by the way. If we're lucky, the AI is somehow good at this job without actually suffering.
Now imagine doing this for free, like what Reddit mods do.
Came here to say this one. Imagine watching NSFL content day in and day out. Absolutely depressing.
A coworker once said he was a content reviewer for YouTube for some time. He received in dollar in a 3rd world country and said it was a pretty easy job to do, aside from being full WFH. Certainly not the worst job out there.
Maybe YouTube gets less of the bad stuff than some other sites; or maybe they're better at detecting it with AI. Facebook content moderators seem to have a pretty bad time.
This really just depends on how desensitized the person reviewing the content is. I imagine most of us that grew up exposed to the internet in the late 90s and early 2000s are pretty desensitized to violence and grossness.
Stuff involving kids is hard to get desensitized to for most people, though. That's the truly hard job. The ones who have to review things like child abuse materials.
If we're lucky, the AI is somehow good at this job without actually suffering.
You know we ain't that lucky. The AI is gonna be great that job, but it's also gonna suffer.
As long as it doesn't have persistent memory it'll be okay
There are people who have to dive into septic tanks and sewage ponds to fix stuff. Pretty sure that is objectively the shittiest job in the world.

Probably being one of those exploited slaves in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the hand dug tunnels to mine cobalt. Or indebted slaves in Pakistan who spend their whole lives making bricks for taking out predatory loans.
But where I live any manual labor as I am very accident prone, or DMV and Postoffice.
DMV and Post Office have decent pay and great benefits lol
Yeah it's not working at the DMV that sucks. It's being a customer that sucks.
I saw a recent video about the debt slaves in Pakistan, the families making those bricks literally do nothing but make bricks all day every day. They sleep In a hut 10 meters away from where the work, wake up, and make clay bricks by hand all day until the sun goes down. They take short breaks to eat and they stop to sleep but other than that it's just bricks all day every day. Whole families do it, husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather, kids (no school, just bricks). They work until their debt is paid off but the owners of their debt are purposely obscure about how much they owe and just keep them working as long as they can. It's really sad.
You could not pay me enough to be a daycare provider. I’m a father of two and feel overwhelmed sometimes…I can’t imagine taking care of 10-20 all day everyday.
I think daycare is different than parenting in that your job as a parent is raising a productive, compassionate, and loving human, while a daycare provider's mandate is "dont let them die before 5 pm." Both are important jobs!
I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.
Ratio at. My child's daycare is 1:3. 1 is a lot but 3 seems kinda manageable.
This really just depends on how desensitized the person reviewing the content is. I imagine most of us that grew up exposed to the internet in the late 90s and early 200s are pretty desensitized to violence and grossness.

I know this is a misplaced answer to the other comment but it fits almost perfectly.
Anything to do with politics.
Your background will have to be audited thoroughly. Anything you say or do is going to get reported or even worse twisted. No financial freedom otherwise it would be seen as corruption no matter how small. You are expected to make the correct decisions for the future while not knowing how it would turn out, so you can't fix everything no matter how hard you try, you aren't going to make everyone happy, there are always people who are going to be pissed at you, you will get called in the worst names possible, and you are expected to have to take on all of that shit in the name of criticism.The airport clerk at the lost luggage counter. I’ve watched dozens of people run over to wait in line, then to shout at him when it’s their turn, their flight was cancelled or redirected without their bags, they’re going to sue his company and demand he reimburses their entire vacation, all before he even opens his mouth. And then the next person has the same story and they have to spill the entire thing out again.
The clerk looks tremendously beaten down, and just answers the customers with robotic answers, “please fill out the form, the airline will contact you within 24 hours. Please fill out the form, the airline will contact you within 24 hours.”
Picking through a smouldering trash heap to collect the occasional phone, radio or whatever, to burn it down for metals.

The one you currently have, forever and always until the end of time.
Gotta be: Fluffer.
What if you just like getting dicked, but don't like being on camera? Seems like an alright gig.
There's no sense of accomplishment.
Not actually a real job though
Unless you like whacking people off all day.
It’s like all of the work for none of the reward

That sharecropper shit, where no matter how hard you work, you make the same amount of money. That's fine bullshit.
Right now? Probably CEO of Twitter. In more conventional times, probably suicide bomber has gotta rank pretty high, I'd think.
Neither of those are really jobs.
Well someone's gotta do em
Yes on suicide bomber, but CEO of Twitter isn't "worst" in any sense. Having to work with Elon must suck, but at the same time basically no CEO is a great person and they still get paid stack$$$.
