I browse gore the way you'd browse TikTok. The answer why I'm not a moderator is very simple - I'd need to leave my cushy software job and get a job that's minimum wage. Imagine your coworker telling you "I actually enjoy driving people around" and your first reaction being "then why don't you become an Uber driver" without considering the option that Uber pays like shit.

If you find me €150k job where I just sit and watch gore all day long then I'll take the job immediately.

Still, there are plenty of gore enthusiasts who have no other talent or prospects besides being able to consume massive amounts of gruesome gore. Surely they could find employment in this field.

I can imagine explicit rule "no child porn on slack" lol.

I'd argue that maybe the ability to watch gore without going insane is paired with emotional self-control, which is paired with high intelligence. That is to say, maybe the set of people you're speaking of is smaller than you think.
