One small point:
The title of this is, “Should there be an EA crowdfunding platform?.” You list the costs & benefits in the post, which is fantastic, but I’m not a big fan of the wording of the title. “Should” is a really messy word, what I expect this means is more specific, like “Does the expected value of this project outweigh the opportunity costs?” A similar, shorter, title could be something like “What is the net benefit of an EA crowdfunding platform?”.
