Maybe go look at what the data you’re actually memeing is next time?
You can be great at what you do without being popular, especially when how popular you are is based on the opinion of an extremely divided population that's influenced by media that try to make people angry at anything and everything to generate more clicks so they sell more ads.
That's why we listen to the opinions of experts, not random Joes. Just go to a townhall meeting to listen to the average person and their take on what cities should do.
In a democracy the opinion of the people matters.
When making a list based on the accomplishments and not popularity, the opinion of the majority isn't what matters.
Its a list based on personal opinions of “greatness” not accomplishments
When people in a democracy decide they want a dictatorship their opinions won't matter a bit.
