The Middle of the Middle of the funnel is specifically people who I expect to not yet be very good at volunteering, in part because they’re either young and lacking some core “figure out how to be helpful and actually help” skills, or they’re older and busier with day jobs that take a lot of the same cognitive bandwidth that EA volunteering would require.
I think the *End* of the Middle of the funnel is more of where “volunteer at EA orgs” makes sense. And people in the Middle of the Middle who think they have the “figure out how to be helpful and help” property should do so if they’re self-motivated to. (If they’re not self motivated they’re probably not a good volunteer)
