What a Social Media Content Moderator Sees Every Day

What does social media look like when you spend eight hours a day reviewing what people upload?

JP draws on his work as a content moderator to examine engagement bait, copied ideas, manufactured outrage, scams and the attention economy—and to ask whether social media's genuine benefits outweigh what it is doing to our minds and society.

In this episode:

• What content moderation reveals about the material filling our feeds

• How platforms turn human impulses into profitable engagement

• Why connection and community come with difficult hidden costs

Question for you: If you could make social media disappear tomorrow, would you press the button? Find JP on X or Instagram and share your answer.
