Amazon's Mechanical Turk program is/was basically this. Farming out small editing or image recognition tasks to people in the global south who may or may not actually get paid a pittance for it.
man i remember one time I basically got paid $20/hr to, based on a series of screenshots, make a title for a porn video. My god it was easy money, but the tasks ran out and never came back 😔
