The answer to this is pretty simple and long overdue. We need writer's guilds and developer's guilds, basically unions that protect the content producers from abuse by large corporations.
All it takes is one lawsuit to shut down an ad service or app store. We forget our power as citizens or opt out of it/throw it away so easily.
This is traditionally how environmental and other groups have stopped corporations from impinging on the public's rights. I'm not saying this is ideal, just, it's how it works because the corporations will never, ever change unless we force them to.
I think one of the biggest obstacles to that at the moment, at least in the US, is the arguably earned reputation that some unions have as being profiteering thugs, if not outright extentions of the mob itself. Those bad unions have spoiled it for the good ones (and there are good ones).
