One way to throw sand in the machinery that is Big Tech, is to *not* abandon the platforms, but rather use them with extreme compliance... Blast them with ajax signals via maximum engagement that costs them money to manage. Their business model is weak, overwhelm it! 
Every time you engage with a tech system (think twitter "likes" feature) you are sending an small ajax signal into the servers that needs a response.
api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
But keep in mind, that response is not needed just for you, it is needed for everyone who is engaged, active or viewing, that tweet. Your "like" has to be visible for all those simultaneous users in real time. That small ajax action then creates an exponential need on the server
Hardware is not effective at solving a problem created by massive ajax engagement. Server space doesn’t solve the problem because it is not a server capacity issue. It is a server performance issue.
The servers can be overwhelmed by massive ajax calls for constant updates and refreshes on the Big Tech platforms. Those performance issues, caused by the number of functions and scale of simultaneous engagement, cost money to try and manage.
This is why Big Tech platforms are scared of algorithmic bots, that create trillions of simultaneous ajax signal requests, that overwhelm their system performanc capacity generating 504 errors. [Similar to DNS attacks]
When you engage any function on any platform there is a cost that goes with it. More engagement, more ajax signal requests that need to be fulfilled, equals a higher operating cost.
This is a reason why Big Tech platforms have a hard time with scalable profitability.
