They're not following crowds, they're joining a service to distribute their 
work. They're no more likely to be found than if they used a service that 
respects their users wishes for increased privacy and control over their 
own computers. People don't pay attention to them because they're on a 
service, people pay attention because they have something others want to 
read, hear, or see; something they could offer on any or multiple services. 
They argue in terms of losing a popularity they don't have but 
simultaneously seek to gain by joining a service which doesn't actually 
give them the popularity they desire (which most of the time doesn't 
happen). The loop continues for as long as they remain on the service 
despite clear evidence of their continued unpopularity.
