This post seems to be about a mix of giving that you think isn’t the most effective (public radio) and giving that you think is (plausibly) the most effective but isn’t widely acknowledged to be effective within EA.
Yes, that is an accurate summation. I don’t think many of these causes are the ‘most’ effective, but I believe them to be potentially effective but lack measurements. We don’t talk very often about other potentially effective benefits of donating outside of core EA charities. I think there is benefit in discussing/exploring exceptions or other donation strategies people may have.
