> I kinda suspect it is the kind of job that is just inherently unhealthy

that doesn't mean you can't try to mitigate the worst aspects of it. here are some suggestions to start:

* saner hours

  * better pay, so that you can live on 40 hours a week or less of this work.

* saner goals as far as throughput for amount of content screened

* comprehensive medical insurance including good mental health care

  * free on-site confidential psychological counseling

the market's not doing a good job of taking care of these people. i understand why they get paid poorly in the sense that i understand why they will accept these jobs for this pay, and why companies pay that much for the job: it's because companies can get away with it. either through unionization or legislation, we need to fix that. FB etc don't function without these people, but these people are used by that system with no regard for their welfare.

programmers and other usually direct employees of software companies can have it bad, but they usually don't have it nearly as bad as the content screeners.

> I'm not sure what could be done.

me either, really, but there are some reasonable things we can try. i don't think we should just abdicate responsibility on this because it's hard and those people don't have much power.
