Why not try to change what is Bad?
I could see this working for a small local coffee shop, but for something as big as Google where many employees could be replaced, and how it effects the lives of billions of people on the planet (and elsewhere), you not working there wouldn't bring any real net positive change.
If I hate Comcast and ATT and chose to ignore them for being Bad, I really wouldn't have broadband options.
My municipality would be a good contender to start their own ISP, but are banned from doing so thanks to Comcast passing laws in my state (most states in US now), and the "system" for allowing them to pass said laws.
I am not going to just quit internet because I hate them, but I have and continue to try to hold them accountable and have them do better.
So as long as monolithic monopolies exist with the support of the many institutions set in place today, ignoring bad does no good.
