..For starters, influencing public thinking, is like playing the lottery,
{which to my 'math-sense' credit, I haven't done in ages}, which
will be out-of-the-question.. so long as one keeps their thoughts..
and/or, 'findings'-of-interest on the 'Web', to themselves{!}
 
..Whose to say that if one finds and posts an original thought of
their own {'IBIJ' excepted..yuk-yuk}.. or, an out-of-the-ordinary,
but otherwise, human-interest article {with No subject-matter
limitations}.. that it might not cause those who initially read a
given post, to.. through one means or another, bring a given 'BB'
post to the attention of someone else{!?}
 
..Consider this as a form of 'chaos-theory' at work; where the
only 'zero-sum' factors are financial renumeration, and defin-
itively knowing that it was your particular post that started
a chain of people {however long, or short} to start thinking
in ways that they wouldn't have, were it not for your post!
 
..I'm reminded of the part-humorous parable of the three ways
there are {among, many others} of dividing up people; ie.,
There are, 1. most of us, who merely Watch 'things' {events}
happen around us.. day-by-day, 2. The few of us; as in the
'movers-and-shakers' and opinion-shapers, who often 'Make-
Things-Happen', and finally, 3. The second most numerous
among us, who are so involved in their in their own 'little',
or at least, 'smaller worlds', that every once-in-a-while, a
'9-11' earth-shaking event will occur, which will cause them
to momentarily interrupt whatever they're doing, and exclaim,
"What Happened?!"
