A couple of people have already posted some data sources, but I will add one more: my attempt to identify the percentage of people who engaged with one CEA program that went on to use the Forum in the next year. This relied on naïve matching of email addresses, so it’s probably a substantial underestimate, but found 25-40% of event attendees read a Forum post within 2021.
I also track a data set of people who are in leadership positions at EA organizations, and this group averages reading 0.7 posts/​day (i.e. they are super engaged on the Forum).
Penetration is substantially lower among people who are newer to EA. Over the next year, we are considering focusing more of our attention on them.
