You always had to pay for it before free state sponsored wi-fi came along..... Unless you mean the lack of freedom of expression and extreme regulation with oversight in a lot of websites now. Why is that?
1) Everybody else was always watching TV until the mid 2010's from what I remember and the people who occupied the main internet were always full of outside the box type people and were young males and free thinkers, very creative, the only reason why a normie went on the internet was emailing or social media usage or dating, that was it.
2) The US 2016 Presidential Elections changed the game.
3) When the demography usage started to change on social media trying to appeal to corporate advertisements, mums, old people, kids and so on, that's where the money is and where the censorship is going to appeal to them.
4) They're trying to make the internet into the TV again from what I understand.
