When I first encountered EA, the ethos was very much focused around earning to give and where to donate. There was a sense we were fans/supporters of these orgs rather than competing for jobs at them and that all of us were on equal footing no matter how much we earned, gave, or followed the news.
I’m curious what fraction of early earn-to-givers now donate to organisations their peers founded vs. still giving to ‘old’ charities (AMF, The Humane League). My loose impression is that it’s pretty low, which could be because (a) they don’t see EA startups reaching their impact bar, (b) those startups aren’t (perceived as) funding constrained, or (c) factors you describe here.
