JonahSinick thinks that EAs with “unusual values” might benefit more from earning to give, but this seems strange to me, since there’s unlikely to be an effective charity working toward goals that few people share.
My explanation for that would be “if few people share your values, it will be harder for you to convince other people to give you money to pursue that value,” which suggests that by earning and then funding work towards that value, you can do more. I do suspect that most unusual causes are funding limited.
