While it's a very compelling subject and well made on a scene to scene basis, by the time I reached the end of it I couldn't help but feel like it was really scattershot.
It wants to start as a look at the people who moderate content online and branch into a broader documentary about division, conflict, and other problems online, and how social media worsens it... but the transition felt a bit non-existent, and made this feel like two pretty good 40-minute documentaries smashed together.
It's disturbing, thought-provoking, and interesting, but unfortunately a bit all over the place and not very cohesive, perhaps biting off more than it could chew for a documentary under 90 minutes in length.
