Brazil’s online gig workers, who power features like social media moderation and AI training, are increasingly wary of newcomers.

I’m sad that the workers blame each other rather than the corporate giants hiring them for getting paid less and less.

I wish clickworkers were more visible. They’re an essential part of today’s new technologies, they’re clearly kept in precarious conditions and I bet most users don’t even know they exist, seeing only the tech gurus at the top of the pyramid.
