Yes, though it’s not clear whether it was the broadcast plug or some Tweeting/streaming I did later with more plugs.
A couple of people just told me they donated without mentioning an amount (and I assume the donations were small). One person claims to have matched all the GiveWell donations I made that year (over $25,000) — I think this claim is probably true, because a GiveWell staffer responded on Twitter to thank them.
I also heard from another person who told me they registered for EA Global in part because they remembered my talking about effective altruism, which could have originated with the broadcast plug. That’s the only impact that comes to mind.
