One counterpoint: If anyone from the general public cares about long explanatory writeups on the economics of buying an abbey, I’d expect those people to be the types most likely to become interested in EA. But those are also the people I’d expect to not be engaging with Torres, so I don’t know how big the effect is.
I’m unconvinced by this part—I think that Torres is clearly a bad faith actor, but am sure this isn’t legible to many in their audience. I expect they appeal to different subcultures, but that at least some of their audience would be EA receptive.
