In the attention economy you have to vote with your attention.

Block, ignore, disengage from, and scorn any software or service that behaves this way.

Make fun of your friends when they use these apps and use peer pressure to dissuade them from using them. These services need to be uncool.

Be the change you want to see. Research alternatives. Provide alternatives. Make alternatives easier, better, and cooler.

Choose principles over convenience and encourage your peers to do the same.
