if my satisfaction with EA is 3⁄10 then I’m probably not sticking around the community and answering member surveys
I think this is a reasonable hypothesis, but there are also effects in the opposite direction (e.g. people who don’t care that much about EA don’t bother to track things very closely). Indeed, in this survey more engaged respondents were more concerned about EA leadership, not less.
Overall, Rethink didn’t find any difference in change in satisfaction based on engagement level. I’m not sure how the mechanism you propose affects things on net, but I definitely agree that FTX has had a greater impact on perception within EA rather than outside of it.
Thanks!
