If I think this is unacceptable[1] and I'm skeptical of the nebulous "AI will do this job in the future" claims, are there conclusions to be drawn other than "UGC isn't sustainable on a global, public platform"? That is, are there serious alternative options, or anybody working on ideas in this space?

I think it's readily apparent that "just show everything" doesn't work if you want to attract a mainstream audience, but I'm reluctant to just give up on the global public platform that FB was originally idealized as.

[1] I think I'd still find it unacceptable if the moderators were being paid 6 figures, had extensive 1:1 counseling, or any other perks - selling mental health for money is something I'm happy saying a utopian society wouldn't include.
