I’m worried about this, though it seems hard to deliver detailed info that explains and backs up our positions via short videos. One hope would be that once we feel like our core advice is all written up, we should turn to short videos as an alternative entry point.
I somewhat agree with this but think it’s worth pointing out that a lot of “our positions” are not very complicated or controversial, it’s just that most people don’t think about the topic. E.g. we just did a video celebrating the extinction of smallpox, and I don’t expect that to cause many problems.
Some 80 K things like this might be the value of doing cheap tests or ABZ plans. Or even “maybe do a little bit of thinking before deciding on your career.” I’d be interested to talk to you all about this if/when you think videos would be beneficial.

Agreed but maybe there’s scope for spreading some of the core ideas of EA (a la Doing Good Better) as opposed to more specific career advice from 80K?
