Anon believes that powerful people all know each other's secrets. Black hats protect each other, even when exposed. White hats have been tricked into non-disclosure agreements and or threatened. Those who know cannot sleep and all of that. Anons dig organically and post. Public knowledge causes black hats to make mistakes/change plans/miss windows of opportunity. Anons shift the ground under their feet. Anons keep them (unfortunately including the white hats, sometimes) off balance. In a way, Anons pull trash out of the darkness and let daylight sort it out. Anons disrupt their control.
