Right? They realized the power that be, corporations or governments, can take away any service at any time, & look for the loophole to access the service instead of the loophole to the entire centralized system …especially considering those powers can take down the VPNs too. Duct tape thinking.

mostly text and sometimes short video (eg mastodon, lemmy, signal) does just as much for spreading information and its not nearly as bandwidth intensive. peer to peer alternatives exist too.
