I agree the comms is currently not as good as it could be.
I think the massive push to expand effective giving through a large variety of (non-CEA) methods might well take over EA external comms in the next few years. And Iām hoping the effects of that will eventually bounce back and fix CEA. There will just be a lot more comms-understanding EA-committed people in the EA hiring pool.
Iām also very hopeful about NEST, which seems to have understood that things like āhold a Nerdfighters or Kursgesagt meetupā is a thing a local EA group should be doing to attract the people who might become an EA, and is not cringe-bad-wrong-unprofessional.
