There are more individualists & libertarians today than ever before, & that is almost entirely a result of the internet. Bitcoin is the greatest tool for individual empowerment to ever exist. Nostr & Keet are pretty amazing too despite being far from mature technologies. The most popular podcasts & shows are almost completely at odds with govt propaganda.

Yes, there are centralized platforms that heavily manipulate people. The primary search engines are a serious problem. Ignorance is at an all time high because the compulsory "education" system is horribly corrupt. But the internet is really the primary tool for combatting that.

If we were collectivizing then there would be a lot less disagreement & division. People would just all agree & get along & none of the lies would really be known or discussed.
