I think this is called the World Wide Web, and allows any member of the public to put in a slight bit of effort to control and publish their own content.
However, convenience is king, and likes/views are more important than having a free platform, so we have forgone our freedom to be subjects to our content masters, hoping that we trend, and praying we don't get shadow banned.
The technology and tools exist - the problem is people are lazy/scared of learning, so they act like there is no alternative to having your own piece of the internet that no one else can fuck with.
