But even then, I think my logic stands: notice that OP talks about EA orgs in particular. Meaning OP does want to see a higher concentration of posts with views correlated to those of EA org employees. But that means a lower concentration of posts from people with views who don’t directly align with EA orgs—which would cause a cycle of blocking more diverse views.
I suspect OP doesn’t want more posts from employees at EA orgs because they are such employees—I understood OP as wanting higher quality posts, wherever they come from.
True, the post does suggest that employees at EA orgs make higher quality posts on average, and that they may have less time to post on the Forum than the average user, but those are empirical matters (and seem plausible to me, anyway).
Edit to add: I generally didn’t get the feeling that OP wholeheartedly supports intervening on any or each of these possible explanations, or that doing so wouldn’t risk other negative consequences (e.g. increased groupthink).

Indeed, this is why I wrote “a higher concentration of posts with views correlated to those of EA org employees”. It doesn’t matter whether there’s causality here—encouraging the correlation is itself a problem.
