Note that the author uses “the effective altruists” as shorthand for “Caroline, Nishad, Gary, and Sam”. E.g. “that’s where the effective altruists all lived, at least until Caroline booted Sam out” is just referring to the four of them.
So I think there are fewer references to EA per se than these search results might imply.
He does, but at the same time I think it matters that he uses that shorthand rather than some other expression (say CNGS), since it makes the EA connection more salient.

Agreed, it’s just important to understand that what the author means by that term is not what most of us would mean by the term.
