Executive summary: A 2023 survey of EA Forum users provides insights into demographics, usage patterns, and perceived value, revealing high engagement but potential areas for improvement in accessibility and impact.
Key points:
Survey data was reweighted to account for overrepresentation of highly engaged users and males.
Most users find 50-70% of their time on the Forum useful, with daily users reporting higher utility.
The Forum is seen as a valuable source of information on EA and specific cause areas, particularly for frequent users.
Career impacts include job applications and grant applications, with higher rates for users who post or comment.
Free responses highlight both positive aspects (community engagement, information sharing) and challenges (accessibility for newcomers, time constraints).
Future surveys may need to refine questions about usefulness and impact for more precise insights.
