My article criticizing the EA Funds last year were both more cogent than this post, and the recipient of a much greater number of upvotes, than Ben’s here. I do in fact think it is the case here that this post is receiving downvotes because of the factual errors with it. Yet neither is this entirely separate from the issue of people downvoting the post simply because they don’t like it as a criticism of EA. That people don’t like the post is confounded by the fact the reason they don’t like it could be because they think it’s very erroneous.
