Someone wrote to me in a PM that they think one good reason for EA donors not to have funded EA community projects was because OP was funding them, and arguably there are other more neglected projects.
I do think this is a big reason, and I was aware of this before. It’s a complex area.
At the same time, I think the current situation is really not the best, and can easily imagine healthier environments where motivated funders and community would have found good arrangements here.
I also take responsibility for not doing a better job around this (and more).
