    Answer: because actually moderating user-generated content of any sort, even forum posts, is only ever a drain on finances. There's no way to make it profitable. So instead they spend as little as possible, offloading much of the work to algorithms that are triggered by keywords or user reporting. It invariably fucks up. But they don't care. They saved money.
