There's no reason to reserve you ire for large companies, any business that chooses to make their product irritating for some incremental increase in profitability deserves our scorn.

I think irritating vs. insidious are different.

And pervasive vs. easily avoided are different.

And I can think of other differences.

With respect to surveillance especially: Scale has a quality all its own.

I grant that I do notice when any service or product has obvious unaddressed flaws. But that is a different tier from companies globally warping the fabric of society.
