@flengyel I will note that I'm pretty involved in the effective altruism community, and claim that most of them do not feel that they have to be "compensated" for any donations or direct work.
It also doesn't seem to me like EA is *worse* than the median community in the same reference class about with the same gender ratio.

I also think that EAs are mostly doing what everybody else is hugely dropping the ball on (up to and including things that are outside most people's conception of altruism)

@flengyel it's really horrible

don't even ask [1]

@Paradox
Leahy's dictum: Thou shalt not footgun theyself.

Do not criticize rich people for giving their money away. No matter the intention you (believe to) perceive. Rich people follow incentive gradients, they like not being criticized. So if you criticize them giving away their money they will stop.

(differential levels of praise dependent on motivation are still good)
