Honestly I don’t think there’s a single mega-platform which hasn’t failed to scale their moderation team.

You'll often hear content creators talk about "getting on the wrong side of TikTok" - meaning they started getting recommended to an out-group. (For example super cool super funny @melissadilkoateras ending up in MAGA feeds occasionally).
Cue brigading of reports, community violations, etc until the audience stabilizes.
I think the reputation is due to the zealous take down policy and the solid profiling that keeps you in your comfortable content window.
