If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

That has nothing to do with social media.

Now, say you’re an ordinary person. You don’t like child porn. You’re not a Nazi. You don’t want to shoot up a school or blow up the White House.
