Why “cyberproletariat” is a great word
CYBERPROLETARIAT — [Noun] The class of workers who perform digital labor, often precarious and low-paid, within the networked economy. From the prefix cyber- (relating to computers, information technology, or virtual reality) + proletariat (the class of wage-earners in a capitalist society). Unlike "cybertariat," which often specifies data-processing clerks, or "precariat," which describes precarious existence across all sectors, the cyberproletariat is the explicitly political specter haunting the server farm. It is the content moderator sifting through digital trauma in a windowless office, the gig-economy driver navigating by an algorithm's invisible whip, and the crowdsourced click-worker labeling images for a system they will never own—the human substrate upon which the illusion of a seamless, automated world is built.
