That's the problem with trading, the fact that us humans are all against each other, in any other field you would get help, we would god forbid actually be on the same side and help each other, but instead no one REALLY helps anyone else(other than basic BS) because in the trading world we are taking each others money off each other.
So when the HFT aren't taking us out, we are taking each other out.
We'd rather laugh and point at someone who loses money consistently instead of helping them and showing each other these "patterns" that are supposedly so obvious with HFT. Guess that's why there's patterns in the first place, we're so predictable right 
I tend to agree in that I see HFT being all that is trading in a few years time, but it's the same in most industries really, everything becoming more computerised, doing jobs that humans used to do, and in much cheaper, faster, more efficient ways, which is probably why in the future we will be completely useless......unless you have an IT/Programming degree.......or do jobs that no one else wants to do(cleaning, fixing/repairs etc...)
We are our own worst enemy. Some adapt, some don't.

If your strategy is being hurt by HFT, chances are it is not a good strategy to trade. I am not affected at all by HFT in ES, matter of fact, I find often it helps propel my position to targets much faster.
Trading has always come down to adapting to market patterns, and if one says other, they best trade mutual funds.
