[Air-L] Animated videos on click farm

[Rafael Grohmann]

   Hello,
   DigiLabour Lab launched two animated videos about the work in Brazilian
   click farms. Available in English and Portuguese, "In the Click Farms"
   is a result of the research "Click Farm Platforms in Brazil and
   Colombia: work conditions and worker organizing", funded by the
   University of Witwatersrand, South
   Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_0fBQN2xU
   The two episodes tell the story of Maria, who lost her job and starts
   working for these platforms with the function of clicking and
   commenting on profiles of influencers, celebrities and politicians.
   Along her journey, she faces deactivations, fake accounts, coaches
   selling mentorships, and parallel markets of fake accounts and bots.
   The research showed that workers receive US$0,0013 per task and,
   through fake accounts, feed likes and comments on Instagram and TikTok.
   There is also a parallel market for fake accounts, bots, and photo
   packs, where each worker is a potential reseller.
