I think what's happening is also that large institutions really fail at engaging with the masses on social media. They want the millions of followers, but their content goes through the same old regulations and death-by-committee that ultimately gives us boring, sterilized, biased, politically-motivated bullshit that keeps their subscriber numbers low. What they are doing is using their money and influence to re-balance the platforms so that they handicap the authentic voices that get the millions of subscribers.
The winners here are the platforms who give voice to all, make money off the advertising, and deplatform / demonetize some users for their "dangerous ideas". Unfortunately, the definition of dangerous ideas is broadening by the minute.
