I hear you, though I've largely stopped with direct feedback and commentary as it 1. seems to haveno positive effect, and 2. may be having the opposite of my intended outcome. I refer to this as my Denial of Feedback Attack.
The alternatives exist and I recommend using them. This is coming to you via Chrome and Android, but elsewhere I rely on Linux ans MacOS, as well as Firefox and increasingly text-based browsers. (I'm special, I know.)
Protonmail and DuckDuckGo are each quite good. I am divesting mysself of other digital services generally.
As for networks, technology, monopoly, and power, I'm seeing them as increasingly tightly interrelated. Look up Jules Dupuit and his work on rail fares (and classes) and bridge tolls, among others.
