Couldn't they hire from watchpeopledie or nothingtoxic or ebaum. Those users probably would do overtime for free.

People that are completely desensitized to that kind of stuff would probably not be very good at moderating it really.

Also this is a terrible job and I'd be very worried if a company was paying and enabling people who find that fun. It's horrible, but trauma is the normal outcome.
