How much do we at A'gon influence the industry?

Hi everyone,
Just a question that's been in my head for a little bit. How important do you folks feel this forum is to the audio industry at large in the Ensligh speaking countries?  I ask because I often see some taking it way too seriously, and personally.

I mean, I know times are tough, being a boutique audio manufacturer is not easy at any level in the audio industry, so I can really understand how negative buzz for your product can directly relate to your livelihood.
On the other hand, it's just A'gon. I doubt most audiophiles even come here very often.
What do you all think?

Best,

E

On the industry, probably not much and not at all for some manufacturers.
On personal buying choices, it seems A'gon sometimes perpetuates "fads" where a couple of active posters are able to influence the buying choices of others.

I would be more interested in hearing about how much the American (i.e., USA) market influences the audio industry as a whole since I know the Asian market is very active and Europe also has a lot of audio users.  I know several USA manufacturers that do a significant overseas business - more than some would think.
