When the First Amendment was ratified, speech in a public square was the commonplace way of getting a message out to the world. No it wasn't. If you wanted wide distribution of getting a message out to the world (or even wider than your literal public square), you needed it to be published & distributed. That means you had convince a publisher (i.e. a private corporation) to print your pamphlet or have the means to buy your own press. You also had to physically get it into people's hands. The Internet reduces these costs so that making your thoughts available to anyone is easier today than it ever was. Even if it was, that still doesn't show any implied intention (it certainly is not explicit) of some right for one's speech to be heard. Enforcing such a right would be impossible and probably contradictory to some other freedoms granted in the bill of rights.
