I really think you need to commit to reading everyone’s work, even if it’s an intern skimming it for 10 minutes as a sifting stage.
The way this is set up now—ideas proposed by unknown people in community are unlikely to be engaged with, and so you won’t read them.
Look at the recent cause exploration prizes. Half the winners had essentially no karma/engagement and were not forecasted to win. If open phanthropy hadn’t committed to reading them all, they could easily have been missed.
Personally, yes I am much less likely to write something and put effort in if I think no one will read it.
