Fair points here.
But it’s a tough comparison to make. It was a much different society when he was writing.
It’s like trying to compare Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid - on a much longer timeframe.
Did he even have the option to share his thoughts with the world?
Why would he write them down if he didn’t want people to find them?
Also, this was just a name that most are familiar with. You could replace him with Twain, Hemingway, Poe, Wilde.
It was less about the person and more about this new ability to properly credit writers over the VERY long-term. And remove the middlemen from profiting instead of the families of these writers.
