Because you can't rely on mass mobilization without also having mass organization and direct action, electoral movement building, alternative media etc. So the movement exploded and then slowly contracted like any movement would, was met with police presence, meant with disdain and caricatured by the media, etc. Mass mobilization has to lead to building durable power and durable organizations/alternate institutions are it'll be ignored, co-opted, and fizzle out.
