Rossmann hopes that the group awareness created by the campaign will allow people to take action more quickly, due to already knowing that others around them are in alignment. Already it has been seen that many users on YouTube and other social media sites have taken part in the campaign. Some are even taking action to further spread word of the movement in hopes it will eventually get the attention of legislation, tech companies, etc.

According to Rossmann, the point of the Clippy campaign is for members to effectuate change in the world wherever they see it necessary—even if it is a small change, everyone's small changes together add up to much greater change. Rossmann describes this as "cleaning up your corner of the world." Since the beginning of the campaign, there have been many instances of larger changes manifested by the unity of the community.
