Mr Sauder,
May I remind you, that many of us here at SGT are practicing what you suggest we do; "The only way to win at this game is to withdraw from the contest, to refuse to participate, to the extent that you can."
You Mr Sauder ask for our support by using, bezo's amazon & goolag's g-mail.
I actively boycott these beasts; ...."Don't Feed The Beast!".
May I suggest, you open a Tutanota or Protonmail account, become a Steemit member, even consider a Patreon account and a STRIPE account that way avoiding pay-to-play-pal.
In the unconventional asymmetrical war WE find ourselves, a key to survival is being 'multi-dextrous'(my own word btw) instead of the traditional ambidextrous method.
Try it Mr Sauder.
Regards X-
