Many of the comments in this video were incredibly inspiring for me to read.
Most outside engagement with EA I see tends to scew heavily negative. I tend to disprortionally focus on the negative as those impressions are especially important for me to understand, so reading comments claiming how inspired they felt by the prospects of humanity, was so refreshing! Where was the all the sneering I’m so used to!?

The right framing can make a big difference.
Also I see lots of positive comments from people who have done the Intro EA virtual program or who have read Doing Good Better.
It may also be a difference between how YouTube comments are quite positive these days and Twitter still has incentives for negative comments.
Note that if you sort the comments by New rather than Top, a smaller fraction say very positive things.
