I guess you completely glossed over the main part of the article:

> They perform the brutal task of viewing and removing illegal or banned content

Look, I'm a capitalist just like the next person, but subjecting ANY human being to the disgust of banned content on Facebook, Microsoft, Google, etc. HAS to take an immeasurable mental toll.

But hey, I guess you just focused on the "but how much are these guys making"...
