Internet is a bit larger than TikTok and some other social networks. Wikipedia, Internet Archive, even the Reddit for all its issues, are still living examples of great democratizing force.

All three of those are centralized authoritative forces. Mediawiki (distinct from Wikipedia), Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, Lemmy, Owncast, etc. are better examples of democratizing forces on the internet.
