Could you explain how you can no longer share ideas person to person? If anything, this has gotten easier. Where it ones required skills and access to tools and resources (or at least a willingness to use the office mimeograph late at night) to create an underground zine and where the 'phone tree' was charged on a per-minute basis you now have so many options for effective person to person persuasion that it can be overwhelming.
I think your point that there is so much noise (aka "other people trying to be persuasive") that voices find it hard to get an audience is fair, but I don't see any evidence that it is harder to speak widely now and all evidence seems to point in the other direction.

Didn't say you couldn't, though for large segments of the population in-person direct communication has been to a significant extent replaced by communication mediated by (and potentially censored by) major centralized media firms.
