[dead] 'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back (404media.co)
404media.co is auto-dead and requires someone to vouch for it. If you turn on show-dead in your profile you will see most submissions of that site are [dead]. [1]
I vouched for it and it should be visible now.

  That is really wild to me! Had no idea they weren't in good standing like that on here, really associate HN with them in general. Thanks though either way. Not a big deal, thought it was good story but I guess not the right audience!

    It's because, for a long time, most of their content was behind a signup wall with no obvious workaround. I don't know if it still is or not. If it isn't, we can change it. In the meantime, users can always vouch for the articles that are readable and/or have workarounds.
    See these links for the HN's general policy around paywalls:

    Btw, I took a quick look at the article and while it is interesting, I think the essay written by the man interviewed in the article is even more interesting: https://data-workers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/The-Emot.... If you want, we could change the URL to that and re-up the post. Or, if you want, you could submit it separately and we could put it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it will get a random placement on HN's front page.

    No no its ok! I am sure yall's system is what it is for good reason, this still kinds of turns me off I think from trying to participate in this particular way. If its worth it, I am sure someone else will do the steps. Thanks either way dang.
    I do agree that essay is a better source here!

  Ah I see, thanks. I do see other [dead] things when logged in and on the new feed. I guess I just remembered seeing it from my end as well as [dead], but when I look at my submissions, it just looks like a normal post.
