This mea culpa of “we’re too successful to be able to moderate effectively” and “we are in the business of free speech” reads as a sympathetic excuse, but… https://twitter.com/letsrundotcom/status/1194671348536270849

The truth is that LetsRun is disincentivized from doing effective moderation because hot takes and misogyny drive their profit (clicks for ad revenue).

If LetsRun feels comfortable being known amongst pro female runners as a cesspool of misogyny, that tells you something about their culture and values.

Imagine an alternate world where women who were so inclined to share knowledge on message boards actually had a safe space to do so with being trash talked about their bodies. It might actually be a cool forum.
