For starters, engaging with the hobby beyond bitching about it would be a good start. This isnt necessarily directed at you, but the way I see it the vast majority of the 'gatekeepers' are also secondaries/no-models that proudly proclaim that they will never ever ever buy Games Workshop products ever. You write yourself off as noncustomers. What's the point in appealing to you? We get it, you dont like primaris marines, cool. Why dont you use Horus Heresy models then? Or the tactical squad you like some much? Maybe make a little effort to hobby?
Even if the redditard troons are never going to buy anything and only want to destroy the franchise and yada yada yada, at least they put up the facade of a potential customer by going "please GW I would give you a million bucks if you trooned out the red space soldier guy!" They are doing a better job at getting GWs attention because its not just endless bitching and whining about everything, and then when paint pots are outselling the entirety of a franchise its more endless bitching and whining when they try anything to spark the remotest interest back in it. It's nonstop, and then its a big-shock-wonder when they aim for a different customer base? What do you honestly expect?
I'm not saying buy all the slop unquestioningly, but when they release something cool you want, celebrate it and grab yourself one. flies with honey and all that. Be the more appealing customer. They are running a business after all.
if you want to be more direct, buy stocks or infiltrate the company or someshit, I dont fucking know
