The video is coming out today on YouTube—the title: “The Rich Have Their Own Ethics: Effective Altruism & the Crypto Crash (ft. F1nn5ter)” suggests its obvious line of attack, but given PhilosophyTube is a major contributer to Leftist YouTube, that should be well in line with priors.
Given you described it as ‘reasonably evenhanded’, and how much I liked Abby’s video on the NHS as an exploration of institutional failure and the harms it can cause, I might give it a watch and post a summary as a top-level comment when I get back from work.
Hey rachel, there’s actually been a few different posts on the Forum about the video which I was glad to see. I posted my main reaction here - but short answer, I was pleasantly surprised by how fair it felt as criticism, especially given the YT format and what I know about Abigail’s own philosophical perspective. In retrospect, seems like your impression was pretty spot on.

Thanks for the update; I’m curious to hear what you think!
