So cloudflare terminates the account of some pathetic racists, but happily continues to host Ripoff Report, a company whose basic business model is to defame people online and then extort them for money. You know, a site that actively ruins people lives, employment, etc. But a silly racist message board is what moves the CEO to take action.
To describe the daily stormer as a silly message board is to ignore the broader context. It seems likely that what the CEO acted out against was the death of Heather Heyer at the hands of the kinds of people who visit the daily stormer (and are radicalized by it), the tacit endorsement of those people by Trump, and the specter of the US slowly transforming into something like Nazi Germany. None of those things are "silly" or "little."
