Abandoning Google services will not work because only a negligible number of people will actually do it. Here's what may actually work:
- Make a website documenting cases like this and strongly encourage visitors to install an ad-blocker and tell friends and family and social media followers to do the same.
- Whenever there's a high-profile case like this, ask people to install an ad-blocker and share a link to this website.

That depends on the definition of "working". Will it change Google's practices? No, but it will ensure I don't have to endure them anymore, hence "it will work" for me just fine.
