I've seen people coming out of the woodworks into subs they don't even engage in just to spam comments about how no one supported the community joining the blackout. The sub voted. And granted there were only 3k votes to 1M subscribed, but given that the poll was available for a while and anyone who regularly engaged in the community would see it, I dont see how someone who is that much of an outsider should matter more.
