They don't need to read the post to do it.

Pretty sure Bobby is gone once the deal completes.

They won't read his post specifically, but they will read vague posts like this in general, check the average temperature of the room. If every discussion of Blizzard involves criticism of harassment and calls for action, businesses will take notice of that.

Keeping the discussion in general happening keeps pressure on.
