What you actually hate, I suspect, is neo-liberal capitalism, not so much the internet itself.
As only the latest in a series of public resources to be surreptitiously privatized, the rules of the internet have started being dictated by investor interests.
For the record, I don't like neo-liberal capitalism much myself, but I just thought it was important to correctly identify the fundamental problem here.
