What makes the activists here think that they can speak for this 1%?

They don’t speak for, they give an estimation of their opinion.

I mean, personally I've been paying for a Premium membership for years now because I know good web communities need user financial support to be sustainable. So I have at least some moral right to a preference in the direction the site goes. I honestly wish they'd just done a bigger Premium beg-a-thon and see if they could meet their revenue needs that way; it's ultimately a much better model.
