Typically people in emotionally traumatic jobs aren't going to be spending all day, every day, doing nothing but witnessing trauma. There's downtime - a police officer could go weeks to months at a time dealing with only relatively routine things.

The people doing moderation are spending all of their time, baring a few breaks, looking at stuff that other people have already flagged. That's going to take an emotional toll on you.
