It's frustrating because it's all done by people. Like if a volcano erupts you can't really get mad at it. It's just physics stuff. But all of this? People are making these choices. People made of meat and bone. Like, you could find the decision makers at Google who decided to shit up their product and kick them in the junk.

What if peoples relationships create a superstructure no single human can control, and we need active collective effort to supercede it?

If a single human refuses from a moral standpoint, a humongous amount of money to do something crap as CEO controller of whichever crap company, boards will replace them, and some other human will, because material condition dictate it has to be done. No one is really in control. The boards are all just optimising for profit, because if they're not, someone else will.

How to break the capitalist cycle of control over peoples will?

In real life? I'm not sure. Years of struggle to change government to enforce regulations, break up consolidation of power, blah blah blah.

In a like ttrpg or movie? Murder. Murder the board and other management and anyone they replace until the greed stops.
