Probably the biggest thing is he became famous from creating completely different videos. He didn't get his viewer base from cheating, he most likely cheated because he felt his skills deserved a good time but he didn't want to put in the grind which an RNG-heavy speedrun requires to get a good time. I recommend Karl Jobst's video on it, where he points out that skilled speedrunners don't cheat to get a better time, they cheat to get a good time faster.
