Without section 230 nobody in thier right mind would ever allow unmoderated comments on thier sites, and since the sheer volume of user generated content on sites is so large, you would never be able to moderate the content at all,there is just too much of it.

It would not but just the big sites, it would hit all sites, all of the millions of sites that allow user comments including this one.
Section 230 does not need to be repealed, it needs to have criteria set for the site operators to continue receiving cover, they should have to show a reasonable moderation effort, with demostratable, reported and inspectable compliance programs for content moderation that makes reasonable efforts to filter out categories of speech like hate speach, incitement, a license to publish user contemts. They should publish grevience and abuse reporting proceedures and be able to demonstrate that they are available and active.
