Hello hello guys. You know, it's been a very long time since I checked this forum, and it's been a really long time since I did something on the internet - in terms of making money online. I feel a little depressed lately, as I see my life going to a shitty absurd meaningless routine, falling into a giant capitalism system. Let me share with you my little story, and if you have time to read it, let me know your thought and your point of view.

At the beginning of 2022, I had almost no money, and I made a lot of effort to get money from the internet, but I didn't succeed as I needed more money to invest in good tools (for example SEMrush). Also, as I was living with my parents (and I'm still right now) they push me - indirectly - to get a job, in which I did. I found a job as a content moderator, and they pay 500$ a month (Note that I'm living a third country, and 500$ is a good amount). On the first 2 years, till the end of 2023, I was working from home, and I really loved it. I was only moderating and doing my shift, and at the same time, I took the benefit of working from home and I stole some hours from here and there to learn a lot of things. I learned for example Data Analytics and I got a certificate on it, and I watched a lot of courses, and I have read a lot of books.

Recently, the activity we were working on has changed, and we have to work on a new activity that is only a work-from-office activity. I went back to work from office, and I really hating it, it's a very hard activity, as we moderate really sensitive content (gore, graphic shit ...), and also, I realized that I give this job more than 12 hours a day from life, leaving me with almost nothing to do in the day after getting home, as I come really tired and I barely do something productive like learning or something. In the days off, I took the opportunity to just LIVE - literally, and I go out and meet with friends. I've been like this for 3 months now, and this absurdity let me to re-think about LIFE, and what I really should do.

I save money, as my plan from the beginning was just to save money so I can invest and focus on making money online, and that shitty 500$ they pay me per month could be done online and even more.

Now, I started thinking about quitting this shit and start focusing on the things I really want to do. I saved around 4500$.

I have the plan to do some medical certificate trick (6 months max as my country's law says), but in these 6 months I won't get paid (and it's fine for me), but I'll do it just as a backup plan, because finding job in this country is really hard!

What do you think guys? I'm really fucked up, and I'm seeing my life going down a slippery slope of this modern slavery capitalism system, and I don't want it anymore. I want to focus on myself and do the things I really want to do.

Would you quit if you were in my place?
 
I live for $11 a day. Sometimes $7.

When I worked a job I would spend $20 a day and feel bad.

None of that makes sense long term.

I just get a job once in 4 years and the rest I don't care about money. :p

At home I can do video production for $0 and build websites how much I want.

I can write my own compiler.

The value of it exceeds $30 a day I would make at a job.

Literally everybody would do this if it was an option and not wishful dreaming

1. Use ChatGPT to write a script to automatically classify the content
2. Review everything manually before you press submit at the end of the day
3. Optionally hire someone to review it at end of the day

Your work is now 30 minutes a day and you could apply for more content moderation jobs while using the same script

Not possible as you cannot know thoughts of 1 person, let alone everyone. :p

On blackhatworld there's no dreaming. There are only goals and solutions.

There's a lot of solutions.

Nope, the problem is that I'm just an agent, I'm not allowed to use external link like ChatGPT, and I'm not allowed to use any bot or such things like that. We only have access to the client's tool, and we only have to do what the client wants, which is "moderate the content based on the given policy".

That's not actually the case, my real concern is to quit this shit. It isn't worth it. I've developed OCD due to this job, and even the psy session we do monthly, I couldn't solve the OCD problem, and many other psycho problems as well (like PTSD).

I'm deciding to quit. It's time to focus on other things.

Moderating gore and graphic content is not worth the toll it takes on you, but don't quit until you have something else lined up. Otherwise, to answer your question, I would definitely quit if I were in your place.
Thank you so much guys for your reply.

Thank you so much guys for your reply.
Doing anything for someone for 10 hours always gives some weird side effects. With persistence and exploration of opportunities such money can be made effortlessly.
