So I suppose the argument for this is that some people basically get paid to write on the Forum, and it’s not surprising that those people (coughSauliuscough) win lots of prizes, which crowds out good content from amateurs. I’m not sure to what extent this is true, and if true, I’m unconvinced that it’s bad.
I went and checked and I think the people who have won the most money from the EA Forum Prize are actually Buck Shlegeris and Ben Kuhn (tied for first place). I don’t know if they were paid to write what they wrote but my guess is they were not.
