My favourite subreddit antidotes: /r/anticonsumption, /r/collapse, and sometimes /r/BuyItForLife (but that last one is vulnerable to astroturfing. My favourite general antidote: free/open source software for everything, using a GNU/Linux distribution for an OS and always using F-Droid for apps on Android; militant ad blocking, with uBlock origin on my browser Waterfox, DNS-level ad blocking on my computer and phone (through adaway), router-level ad blocking (look up Pi-Hole), never watching public TV, and, if someone else is playing propaganda audio, playing white noise loudly with [Chroma Dose](Chroma Doze (Noise generator) - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.pmarks.chromadoze); and being aware of advertising tactics (there is a post on /r/anticonsumption that comes up from time to time listing them).
