I think it's odd that your company has a fairly decent promotion metric (those who seek to spread knowledge through docs & meetings get promoted) and you seem to want nothing to do with it while also complaining that your coworkers don't respect your opinion. I kind of get it as you have expressed that promotion is not your goal. However, organizational influence comes through promotion as your org & only those with influence at your org can change that.
