The 4chan model didn't even work for 4chan, but I wish Twitter the best of luck should that be the new strategy.

What do you mean? 4chan as a cesspool has more activity than ever, there's no bottom to the bullshit that goes on there

Who is "them"? The users or the one owner?

4chan got much more popular again in the last years because other platforms banned their worst users. If people would just have ignored tasteless internet comments we would probably see much less polarization. Suggesting as much will summon some wrath itself though.

Tasteless trolling is far easier to produce than an insightful comment. That is why any platform that allows unmoderated "free speech" (with a large enough user base) will eventually degenerate into a cesspool.

Even those that have the self control not to engage will eventually get tried of filtering content and leave. Then your are just left with the 4chan crowd.
