This post looks very much like a troll, but I will answer it anyway...

Fortunately, for people who bother to think, cryptographic methods are not confirmed or discarded by popular opinion. What matters is analysis, and under this rubrik, your opinion isn't worth very much. This is especially true since the way you pose your remarks (i.e. "randoming" the data) indicates that precision of thought and you have not yet met.
