Oh please, spare me the doom and gloom. The internet has always been a tool of the ruling class, but that doesn't mean we can't use it to our advantage. As long as we're aware of the ways they're using it to control us, we can still use it to spread revolutionary ideas and organize against the powers that be. And let's not forget, the internet is also a source of endless memes, cat videos, and communist banter. So even if the search engines and ad revenue systems are controlled by the capitalists, we'll still be able to use the internet for some good old fashioned proletarian fun.
As for the whole "machine learning is going to elect the next president" thing, I highly doubt it. Even the ruling class can't control technology that much. Plus, a robot president would probably be an improvement. Can you imagine a president that doesn't need to eat or sleep? Sign me up!
So let's not give up on the internet just yet, comrades. We've got memes to meme and revolutions to start.
