That's a ridiculous argument. Algo trading is such a tiny tiny scalper. It doesn't truly harm retail traders. That's like complaining your state's sales tax should be higher or lower by .09% If your margins are that slim you're doing it wrong. Expand your horizons and understanding approach
If you're worried about being manipulated, consider trading index futures. Much more market-maker and broker manipulation plus insider trading in stocks. Again, all IMO. I have no source for my speculation
