Let's be completely honest, writing stuff on minor internet forums is not real activism. Real activism is engaging with voters outside of your safe space, presenting policy papers, working with leaders, etc. Perhaps he used his money to lobby for different laws? I never heard of him doing that.

I won't weigh in on whether or not he should be lobbying. Activism is hard, and it's a lot easier to get approval in an internet community dedicated to your fringe views than to spend time trying to convince people to register to vote with maybe 1 success per 2 hours.
