Well, if you define any change as success, I guess that's true. But the reality is that the change that happened is rarely what was requested, nor what was needed. Power just shifts hands, and small concessions are made to keep appearances. Real change doesn't come from protest but from generalized behavioral change. Some protests are successful because they bring an issue to enough people that they change behavior with enough volume that it ends up making a difference.

Outside of that, I'm really skeptical.
