Thanks for the feedback! I agree, sometimes conveying the potential value of future generations to a general audience can be really tricky. We’re currently working on improving our feedback solicitation process, precisely so we can get input from a wide range of people like you flagged — from highly engaged EAs to members of the general public.
I do think there is a tricky line to balance between going too high level and going too granular when creating longtermist content for a wide audience, but it’s something I think is extremely valuable to figure out and would like for us to continually improve at doing a good job of.
The main thing I think is to keep trying lots of different things (probably even if something is working really well relative to expectations). The big fact of trying to get traction with a populat audience is that you simply cannot tell ahead of time what is good.
