Every website has an owner, every forum has a moderator and every platform
has an admin that can be accused of manipulation of data.
IMHO they are quite fair managing all this.

+1 
But the influence is definitely a liquid process. You should like it.

Not at all, I'm in the fashion business and events organization (as a
manager/owner) and I'm in television (as a consultant). 
Like Cal. with my political opinions, I don't think no one cares about my
professional CV here.
