I would be surprised if the effect from the lack of a pledge drive would run on into February and March 2023 though. Comparison YoY here is 12 months before, Jan 2023 to 2022 etc.
I wonder if it’s because gwwc has cut back outreach or is getting less promotion by other groups (whereas 80k continued it’s marketing as before, plus a lot of 80k’s reach is passive), or whether it points to outreach actually being harder now.
I included your comment about 80k’s metrics being largely unaffected, but if there’s some updated data on if/how 80k’s metrics have changed post-FTX that would be very interesting to see.

Hmm that does seem worse than I expected.

FYI I’ve just released a post which offers significantly more empirical data on how FTX has impacted EA. FTX’s collapse seems to mark a clear and sizable deterioration across a variety of different EA metrics.
