> I'm wondering what people expect these companies to do? Human moderators? Sure, but Meta products have approximately half the worlds population using them

In this case, we are talking about ad images.

1000 moderators x 5 second per image to click deny or approve.

So 1000 moderators review 720000 ads/hour

Per 8 hour workday: 5,760,000 ads

Per full 24h day: 17,280,000 ads

So we will use 3k for 3 shifts.

51,840,000 new image ads moderated per day.

At ~$1,000 per moderator per month (most jobs are outsourced to Africa and Asia):

$3 million per month $36 million per year

I don't see any public numbers for how many new ads they add daily but meta reported removing 159 million scam ads during 2025, so equivalent to around 436,000 scam ad removals per day.
