Imagine calling yourself “one of the most successful communists in the west” while being a twitch streamer. You can close your PC and suddenly the influence that this person has over western communism is zero.
This is true of Haz but Maupin at least was at one point (he was since kicked out after a scandal exposing him as a creep) associated with the CPI which, whatever you may think of Maupin, does do some decent work occasionally. But yeah, these people and their fan base do have an overinflated sense of their own importance. Success as a communist isn’t measured in online followers but in what you can actually achieve in real world organizing.
>they are a significant source of disinformation about actually successful Western Communists such as Jackson Hinkle and Infrared.
So successful I had to Google them

Which CPI do you mean? His Center for Political Innovation or something else?
Of course Haz has no influence he doesn’t even know how many holes a woman has and thinks squirting is pee.
