I am under the impression that the toxic userbase generates the most spending and engagement (not surprising if you think about it...) Therefore we are probably in feature-not-a-bug territory here.
There’s people who have endless time (teenaged trolls) and there’s people who have endless money (lonely middle aged techies)
The teenaged trolls (incels) provide the engagement, and the lonely middle aged techies (simps) provide the spending.
