I looked into this the last time someone posted about it here:

One thing I realized is how expensive Ethereum domains are. The domain price is equivalent to a regular domain and then you still have to pay the gas fee, which makes it more expensive than a casual .org or .net

The other drawback of these censorship-resistant blogs is that they all require plugins to access the non-HTTP domain, which all but rules out most non-technical people who don't even know what HTTP is.

And while it can still be accessed over HTTP, the bottlenecks become the same companies that might comply with censorship requests.
