MODERATORS
How much effort that they've put into battling hate speech is irrelevant; all that matters is how successful those efforts are. It feels like there is far more hate speech on the platform than there was a couple of years ago, ergo they're failing.
If I were an advertiser concerned that my brand will appear alongside rampant neo-Naziism, it would be scarce comfort to be told "yeah, but we tried..."
And noticeably it trended way up after Musk went in and fired a lot of people doing jobs that he considered a waste of money.
Like moderation.
I kind of disagree with your first statement but only in rare conditions. For example (hypothetically) if a platform was doing the absolute most it could (to its detriment) and was leagues ahead of everybody else, then i would say the effort does matter
