Raviji never asked for a a single cent from anyone,he is giving all his time for the benefits of mankind.

If somebody is not affixing OM before Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra, it is their problem. Even accepting your views for the sake of argument, where is śāktapraṇava at the beginning of Mahāṣoḍaśī. As you known Mahāṣoḍaśī, begins with Lakṣmi bīja śrīṁ and not with śāktapraṇava. Again,no doṣa accrues when OM is prefixed and suffixed to any mantra. You have overlooked the arguments in my article, in favour of placing OM at the beginning by quoting necessary references from Chāndogya Upaniṣad and Kulārṇava Tantra. These Scriptures clearly say that beginning a mantra without OM is a sin. Further, ancient Scriptures like Kubjikātantra, Siddhayāmala clearly say that that Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra is extricated by having praṇava at the beginning. When we recite Lalitā Sahasranāma, what is the need to prefix tritātrī (om - aiṁ - hrīṁ - śrīṁ) before each nāma? Why this is called tritātrī (triad), when there are four bīja-s? By default, Om is excluded and hence only the rest three are taken into account. Even tritātrī is prefixed with OM. The doṣa-s which you have mentioned do not apply to praṇava. It is better not to follow anything blindly.

None of the Pramanika Sampradayas affix Om before Mahashodashi mantra. The Devi Pranava itself is Om, and beyond. By adding an extra Om, there is lopa of Chandas, there is lopa of matra, and also lopa of the rashmi samkhya.This is what happens if one reads from books and does not learn from an enlightened Guru belonging to shakta lineage - blind leading the blind.

Explanations regarding initiations, yoga, meditation, practices are true. But the characters, circumstances, etc are only for the purpose of the story.
