The open web is still there. In many ways it is better than ever. People can still publish what they want. There are just so many more users today than there were 15 or 20 years ago. Many of them aren't interested in producing or consuming anything outside of the walled garden. You can blame them if you think that is productive, but don't mourn the open web.

How much are we really loosing when the most vapid platforms continue increasing their censorship?

Which is more informative, a 5 minute youtube video with a 2 minute intro (please like and subscribe, I beg you!) or a book on the topic from libgen?

Please don't confound publishing on the open web with platforms centered on exploiting consumers' vanity.
