You don't believe people sometimes do things because they would otherwise be forced to live in poverty? Because that's literally what "economic duress" means.
Maybe, but not in this case. Youtube reportedly pays moderators an annual salary of $37k [1] and Glassdoor reports the average content moderator salary is $45k. The US Health and Human Services put those salaries between 3 and 4 times that of the poverty guideline for a single person.
This poverty guideline describes the bottom 12% of the US population. The Youtube salary describes the middle 33%.
In the referenced Youtube article, the man "worries that he will not be able to find another job that pays as well as this one does". Not that he worries he will be "forced to live in poverty".
