The fact that one person can’t change something alone isn’t evidence against democracy. If I say that I want my government to implement policy X and my government doesn’t do it that doesn’t mean that I don’t live in a democracy.
Democracy actually needs the engagement of more people. It’s frustrating to me to read a reddit thread about how a Wikipedia article is flawed, when half the amount of engagement that the reddit thread gets would likely be enough to change the Wikipedia article. This doesn’t mean that I want people to organize together to go to a Wikipedia article. The EA community gotten in a few conflicts in the past with that and they don’t need to be repeated.
Whether or not you like Wikipedia doesn’t change that it’s a central part of the public narrative. Many people use it to inform themselves. Journalists frequently check the Wikipedia article to get an overview over the topic.
