3. He is a pioneer in this industry. When we talk about people that completely changed the way we consume porn, he has to be top 3.
4. As much as I do talk about the downsides of OnlyFans (women less likely to provide when they can make $10K a month selling feet pics, for example), OF completely shattered whatever barrier to entry there was for porn. In the beginning, you had to go to places like Miami, LA, or Vegas, to find a porn agent and shoot with studios to get into the industry, and the downside to that was you were at the complete mercy of the people holding your contracts. Now, creators have the complete freedom to do whatever they want, however they want, and in whatever niche they feel most comfortable in.
5. He will likely be viewed in infamy in some targeted documentary about how the platform exploited women, but keep in mind they didn't start out that way. They were competitors to Patreon and just wanted a platform creators could monetize on their own without ads and with very little rules on what they create, say, and how they create/say whatever. That freedom attracted numerous pornstars to the platform and it is now what we know today. So in my opinion, it's pretty unfair that he would be viewed as some evil person. In fact, he wanted to completely ban porn at one point. Only when he listened to the outrage from pornstars that OF decided not to ban it.
Overall, I view him as a huge net positive to the porn industry, especially when it comes to people who want to enter the industry for the first time. Hopefully the AVNs and Exxxotica this year and next pay tribute to him in some way. He was such an important person to the industry as a whole.
