I agree, I think people underestimate the need to incentivize moderators. This is why I think some kind of cryptocurrency based solution to moderation is necessary.

Moderators don't just need incentives. They need therapy and support and monitoring and breaks and ideally, pre-vetting for strong mental health and no pre-existing bees in their bonnet.

I worry that just making it a way to earn bitcoins risks it becoming one more way for poor people to scrape together pennies at the cost of giving themselves PTSD.

good point. It's almost like mechanical turk but for moderation.

This is why I started console [1]. Open-source software engineers are severely under paid for the value they're producing.

I wonder if you could use prediction markets (is this bad? yes or no) and incentivize people to moderate using some sort of cryptocurrency mechanism.
