I mean, you can change people's minds on the internet, they just have to be willing to change; and that part can't be controlled by you.
I have a pet theory that in fact, apart from the few instances wherein people are deliberately open to having their minds changed, no one has ever, in the entire history of the Internet, changed their minds due to being presented with facts or arguments. Ever.
