Funny. I do most of those things and find zero reason to stop voting. Quite the opposite.
You assume that we live in an absolute sham, an authoritarian oligarchy at all levels that masquerades as a democracy, when in reality you enjoy the benefits of living in a wealthy and quite free republic in decline. Corrupt, yes, moreso the further up the ladder you go, but still entirely salvagable and mostly functional. Particularly ar rhe local level It may feel exciting to pretend one lives on a dystopia, but trust me, you don't.
The "drop out of voting" meme is the finest means of circumventing democracy ever devised. Macchiaveli would be squeeing with glee as he drives his Bently over to Karl Rove's house . No need to spend tens of millions on PR campaigns or voter caging, just let the idea that not voting somehow makes one a rebel propogate and you hardly have to spend a cent.
