I have a theory that social platforms are so overwhelmed with flagged content because of ideological wars, they run out of capacity to address actual (and not imaginary) hate speech.

People flag everything they don't like instead of downvoting stuff. In fact some platforms don't even have a "downvote" button, so "report" button becomes a replacement and hogs all human moderation resources.
