The only time that a corporation will take action is when it impacts profits.

If the NAZIs drive more profits than they lose, they will stay. It's as simple as that.

Any corporate social conscience is just a show. Post some rainbows and say that shutting down NAZI is too difficult, but don't do anything that might reduce the profits that the hate controversies create.

Non-profit platforms like Lemmy can do what is right vs what is profitable

Most advertisers don't really want their ads to be shown alongside Nazi content. One thing users can do is to send the advertisers' PR contacts a screenshot of their ad beside someone calling for racial holy war. "Hey, I'm not buying your beans any more because you advertise on Nazi shit" is a pretty clear message.
