The reasons are simple:

1. Gatekeeping for no good reason. They broke web-experience as much as they could. There is a huge banner that doesn't let one view the content on the web version. It wasn't enough, so they blocked TOR and proxy. Now, I can't even view it without proxy of any kind. The account creation is complex, a phone number is required.

2. Censorship.

Youtube and other platforms are slowly poisoning themselves, too and will end up being irrelevant as time goes.
