      ​@@anonymousotter7382 that's the newest low. Going after a person who can't defend himself. Just because he brought to light the secrets of one of the most dangerous industries in the modern world, with dirty tricks, Prause style. I wouldn't be surprised if you are Prause herself or one of her lapdogs, especially because you are writing from a new youtube account. Coward

    Man, rest in piece Gary Wilson. I read his book and he has been a big help in my life. Very grateful to him, but I mostly admire his work towards helping all those people who struggle with pornography. He really brought awareness to this big issue and I believe his work will inspire many others to help make this addiction even more legit and worldwide known.

    RIP Gary Wilson. A man who played as one of the many major stepping stones in my life that allowed me to change to be a better and healthier person. If it wasn't for Gary, I actually don't know what may have become of me, but one thing I know is I would probably be very depressed, and have possibly run very thin on hope. Thank you Gary, you have in my opinion, fundamentally saved a generation, and many more to come, from complete and total suffering.

    This is absolutely heartbreaking. I’ve been familiar with his work for a very long time and I’ve shared it so much over the years. He had a kind consideration for people, always seemed to have a sense of humor and a self-awareness of the minefield surrounding the topic. This is a huge loss, but the world is left much better after having him in it. What an honor it must be to carry even a small part of his torch. Thank you for sharing this.

    Like you Noah, hearing Gary’s TED talk in 2013 precipitated changes which both revolutionised my future and made sense of my past. I don’t think we’ve yet seen just how powerful and transformative Gary’s work may turn out to be. Though his impact was huge, the task ahead is tremendous; with porn addiction still not fully recognised, the science still emerging, and a porn industry holding billions of people in their grip. We haven’t yet seen the horrors which may yet erupt from the ‘smartphone generation’. I hope you’ll continue to carry on the fight in the amazing way that you do, and that you have all the support you need to do so.
