Ok, so I read it, and I honestly don't understand your complete outrage.
1. The guy who died, died of a heart attack at his desk, and the reporter said he didn't have any medical information. I highly doubt a healthy guy just had a heart attack from looking at bad content. I'm sure there are tons of other businesses where employees have had heart attacks.
2. The guy signed up for the job, and wanted to "help people" by taking bad content off Facebook. So you can't then say that it is messed up to make him look at bad content. It's a job that needs to be done, but if you can't handle, then don't do the job. (I understand that later it says some people were "tricked" into the job, but seriously - they took a job and probably signed a contract. Adults should now not to take a job based on promises - there is a reason why we sign contracts.).

Because I didn't even notice it until just now, when I read your comment.

And who wants yards shaped like that? I'd feel like I was getting squished out of my own land.

Right. His whole backstory was that he was just a ridiculously nice, loving, sacrificial guy.

Also, the guy who immediately jumps in and swims to the tractor guy to make sure he is ok is absolutely precious.

My first thought was "this looks like a bad idea, I can't believe it actually works" which was followed by "ohhh, that's cause it doesn't work"

I took a train trip from coast to coast last year and loved it. All the reasons you said make trains so much better than flying. Plus no headaches from the pressurization in planes.

4. I get that they described some bad management and dirtiness, and that sucks. But there are crappy people in every job, and it is really so hard to wipe down your desk when you get there? It is not the end of the world, and you can get $15/hour job elsewhere. They are not really enslaved there or anything.
5. I'm not trying to say that the job is a dream, but the author definitely seems to write more emotionally then factually and seems vague on some stuff. The place needs to be improved. But I was expecting wayyyyy worse based on your post and reaction.
