Any thoughts on how the FTX crisis affected who responded to the survey and the results through this? I can imagine people leaving EA because of FTX and so not responding as a result, but others (and maybe even people not close to the movement) might respond specifically to express their dissatisfaction with EA and might not have responded otherwise.
I agree. We had already included this in our second footnote.
Of course, it is an open question to what extent our sample reflects the community as a whole. It is plausible that people who were were more negatively affected by the FTX crisis might be more motivated to respond to the survey, which might skew responses in a negative direction, but it is also possible that respondents who were more negatively affected by the crisis might be less motivated to take the survey or more likely to leave the community entirely. As always, the EA Survey likely recruits disproportionately more highly engaged EAs and fewer less engaged EAs, so the overall results primarily reflect responses from people who are moderately or highly engaged in the EA community.
