SAN BRUNO, CALIFORNIA — YouTube announced it’s launching a crowdsourced moderation program called YouTube Heroes, which asks users to flag inappropriate content, add captions and subtitles and answer questions on the YouTube Help forum. <br /> <br />YouTube says moderators will be able to get perks like access to workshops and sneak previews of upcoming product launches. <br /> <br />According to a video released by YouTube on the Heroes program, volunteers will get points for accomplishing certain tasks. <br /> <br />At first, users only get to flag individual videos, but as they level up, they get access to mass flagging tools that would allow them to check off a number of videos at once. <br /> <br />It looks like Heroes will have the ability to remove comments. <br /> <br />YouTube Snitches sounds like the perfect job for today’s unemployed social justice graduates just looking for a way to make the internet a safer space for everyone. <br /> <br />And honestly, what better way to make YouTube a safe space than by bullying content creators?
