I think, mastodon does not work for them because nobody found a way to measure how it works.
Counting hits, followers, boosts, favorites - it all fails here.
For me, it is successful. I mostly follow hashtags, use the search a lot to get updates about events or locations. After some time I unsubscribe from these topics and pick new ones.
The few people I do follow just spice up my mostly themed timeline.
It works. But how would I measure it? I don't even want it to be measured.
