It's very much alive and kicking.
All of the "silos" literally depend on it continuing to happen and exist only by nature of the fact that they're still open and easily browsed by individuals. If Reddit turns off access to the average person, Reddit eventually disappears.
Notably, you can still get to Twitter though nitter.
You can still get to Reddit through various open source front ends.
You can still get to YouTube through newpipe.
You may not remember this, but there have been many attempts to silo the Internet. It always falls as the company that does so stagnates and users eventually abandon ship.
And you want to give them the monetary incentive and make this future literally inevitable by locking data out of the hands of anyone who can't pay.
