Until it becomes economically advantageous to do otherwise, the poor behaviors you have described will continue, and the general experience for all of us will continue to degrade.
If you must use these "solutions" at all, refusing to use them in the way their designers intended is an excellent start: don't go to Netflix to see what is there, but rather to watch what you already know you want to see. Further, don't purchase "sponsored" products you see in general search results; don't use "like" features anywhere, etc. It's not perfect, but anything that keeps you in as much control as possible is better than simply letting someone else take the wheel.

The insidious evaporation of being a human. While humans are asleep while awake.
