This is exactly why moderators ultimately quit and are replaced by activists with no interest in balanced speech.

Any platform with unpaid moderators tends to biased activism.

Also paid moderators can't be trusted to moderate without bias. Supporting the ability for Trump-friendly speach (as long as it's relevant and civil) may get you bluelisted+defunded by advertisers who get harassed.
