By Minorities, by I mean those who have unpopular opinions on popular products and complain about how a long-running franchise is going downhill and how companies are becoming sellouts. These type of people are common on the internet, they're found on 4chan, Youtube, Reddit, GameFAQs, and other forums (PokeCommunity is no exception to this category). Popular web show hosts such as the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic, as well as obscure web show hosts such as RandomDCE and Hellsing920, also fall into the vocal minority. I have one question about this certain group: can they be seen as a potential threat to companies? What if the old school Trekkies are fed up with Paramount because of the new Star Trek movies and start a revolution for them to stop "raping" what they love, or what if these people are the sole target audience for certain companies like SEGA, and after the product became a major flop by the majority, they quit? A friend of mine from Skype has something about the minority:
How should we deal with the vocal minority? Should we leave them alone despite becoming one day a prominent threat to the things we enjoy, or should we do something to change their views and become more open minded?"The minority has 'less wrong' opinions.
Well, more likely to have 'less wrong'.
You have a point because most of the world is stupid apparently
And therefore a lot of opinions are stupid
Which is the mainstream
But, it's like rolling dice, he says
The majority can be right
The minority can be wrong
Minorities can be extremely stupid
For example? The Westboro Church
They're a minority
Does that make them smarter than the rest?
No, it doesn't
They're stupider in fact
So, really, you can't say for sure the minority is always smarter
Plus there are different kinds of minorities"
