Your concerns are noted. What would your ideal solution be?
I for one am glad to be able to search a la Google. In order to develop the engine there must be monetary reward. Do I have a problem with that? Absolutely not. I want as much information as is possible to be as accessible as ever it can. Many a regime (e.g. that which recently ran the Olympics) want to keep a lid on their citizens access to information. Many a regime would like to tell only the stories they want the world to hear. Sod that for a bunch of codswallop. Get the word out there and let me decide what I believe.
I do see that you are uncomfortable with the way the net has developed. A possible solution for you would surely be to develop a VPN to which only those whom you chose could gain access. Take your content off the open web and relax. There is surely nothing to be gained from constant stress. If there is at some time material which you are happy to share, then whack it back up on the web and enjoy seeing it fly. Your other private writings can reside inviolate in their own space.
Will this do? Pacem in terris.
