What exactly do Google's "search raters" do and where can I find info about Facebook's corresponding ones, if there are indeed any similarities between them ?

Google contracts with over 10,000 search quality raters worldwide to evaluate its search results. Raters are given actual searches to conduct, drawn from real searches that happen on Google. They then rate the quality of pages that appear in the top results — hence the “quality rater” name.

Quality raters cannot alter Google’s results directly. A rater marking a particular listing as low quality will not cause that page to be banned or lose ranking.

Sure thing.

They all have human evaluators, but, but the "algorithm did it"! lol

Rating the quality of pages is much more complicated and "human" in nature and an algorithm wouldn't do a good job.

An algorithm can do better job in terms of relevance. Opinions now, that's where you need humans.
