You have to be okay with making rich people richer, in order to get some things done. What do you want out of it? It's obviously not money. So go do that instead. Find some freelance work or contract work that doesn't make your skin crawl and keeps what you deem a necessary amount of income to survive and spend the rest of your time on what you do care about. Even if it's entirely free forever. Even if you have to put money into it. This is a very simple solution to making yourself happy. Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too; but don't worry, the snacks aren't terrible. Right now you only have 3 years professional experience; it's going to be hard to find the marriage between what you want and what you need with that short of a resume ("Put in the time" et al. cliches).
