 That's a beautiful way of seeing it, but the fact is that people use social media to share with other people and find new, engaging content.

Try to see it like this would you drink at:

1) a bar where your friends don't want to go because it's in shady part of the city, drinks mid, the beer is not even the one brand that's all over the city that you like but some unknown craft brand that only makes IPAs (lets say only few of you like IPAs), but they have cheaper prices and and they follow business practices that you find appealing.

2) a bar where your friends always go, in a part of the city that's really easy to access, you always meet new people, drinks are of everyone's liking, they have a huge variety of beers, and basically have all the reasons for you to be a recurring client, but, their business practices are the worst.

Which one do you think most people will chose? 
 If th "nice bar" requires me to pay a cover fee and hand over all my public information in order for my voice will be heard, I'll go to the dark bar with the non-cucks tyvm
