I guess I get it - but how do you measure when the toxicity level falls low enough?

What is the LD50 of a social network?

Since its entirely user provided, I don't think its going to ever be.

Does this imply that user-provided content is fundamentally incompatible with an ad-funded model?

There seems to be massive inertia on both sides: advertisers don't want to be placed next to user-provided content, and users want to pay for content via ad views. I wonder which is easier to change?
