Morrison's habit of participating in Reddit has been analyzed as a business marketing strategy.[1] He advocates for independent developers of popular Internet media and video games.[2]

Morrison became a center of attention in the React World controversy when the Reddit community and others began to call on him for his legal insights on copyright and his engagement in copyright activism.[3] His participation in the issue was an important factor in the resolution of the issue in favor of the activists.[4]

In June 2020, Morrison was accused of sexual harassment by a former employee of his law firm. This has led to his removal from the esports bar association along with suspensions from his employer Evolved Talent agency. https://www.esports.com/en/esports-bar-association-removes-ryan-morrison-after-allegations-of-misconduct-102356
