It's a challenging book full of awful things happening on the Internet and the witness stress of those paid to review flagged posts and the hardships of that job, their coping.... Their fallout of beliefs from flat Earth to denying the Holocaust, the tiers of what most need taken down and what isn't is hard, the hopefully things they see, some described, is really hard to hear. Especially a young girl cutting her face before killing herself.. And how they take the cutting post down and find out about her suicide later because they can't stop thinking about the girl and remember her real name and investigate. Along in the story is the narrator trying to have a relationship with her girlfriend that goes through it's own hardships in parallel to the harshness of this job both women and their friends work at.


It's well written but full of so many trigger flags, most of not all of them.

An interesting look at content moderators who review the worst things people put onto the internet, and how becoming desensitised to such content might affect their own sense of morality. The concept was super intriguing but the execution felt very rushed. There were a lot of different topics and themes covered that could have had more time spent on them, and the open ending felt anticlimactic and unfinished, like the author just didn’t know how to end the book.

An interesting book where I understand that what it's trying to do is show the different ways that being a content moderator, in the vein of the extreme conditions ie facebook, affects people and how lack of proper support alongside forcing a certain 'performance in the workplace' at the end of the day destroys them in all the ways it can. 
It's an interesting book to think about, especially now that I'm finished with it, but I don't think(and it's not meant to in all fairness) it's enjoyable to read at all, and I kinda wanted to get the experience over with. It does help that bit as the book isn't very long or complicated and, aside from content, is easy to read. 
Dunno. Had mixed feelings about this book but land more positive than negative.
