While the individual action itself may not change much, it’s a simple task that gets users invested in the movement, and creates visibility for the movement. More visibility encourages people who are capable of making a more tangible change to do so, and informs people unfamiliar with the movement of it. The end goal isn't just to change profile pictures, the visiblity it grants is simply a prerequisite for widespread societal change to occur.
