Usually I would agree with you, but I think within the EA community people have strong egoistic motivation to make “effective” donations. Your reputation is related to giving effectively.
Huh, I feel like reputation within EA is mediated more by things like how insightful one seems in forums & how active one is in organizing community events.
Also there’s this effect where people who are doing a lot of work on the ground tend to accrue less reputation than people who are very active in community building, just by the nature of their work. e.g. compare New Incentives to 80k.

I don’t know how much most EAs I know give. (I basically only know about people who published donation reports.)
