About 90% of the time when some group of people claim they have influence they have fuck-all influence. Reminds me of the time some 4chan users tried to have ReCaptcha label things 'penis' because they had this inflated sense of influence.
ReCaptcha said that it was trivial to handle the increased traffic and that it was not only auto-filtered out but also a drop in the bucket.
Everyone always thinks they're hot shit. But the world is a big place.
