Do you think there is a trade-off between finding the best ways to help people and making the best videos? If so, how do you navigate it?
PS- I thought this was more of a hard trade-off before seeing your GiveDirectly video. I was surprised at how great the video was at explaining a less obvious giving opportunity (e.g. harder to explain than “these people needed houses so we built them houses”). So overall I’m pretty optimistic that you can find a good equilibrium between good videos and good uses of charitable money.
