It's a nice theory, but that hasn't been borne out in reality. Activision theater allows people to convince themselves that they don't need to do the actual work to protect their communities or disassemble abhorrent systems. It raises the profile of the app developer at the expense of the community.

It is funny, because the amount of people who convinced themselves that they don't need to do the actual work due to activism theater is strictly smaller then amount of people that ... just do not do anything except complaining about activism theater.
