(expected low-quality) pro-vegan content
You think that Elizabeth should have expected that taking an EA forum post with current score 87, written by “a vegan author and data scientist at a plant-based meat company”, and taking “what looked like his strongest source”, would yield a low-quality pro-vegan article? I mean, maybe that’s true, but if so, that seems like a harsher condemnation of vegan advocacy than anything Elizabeth has written.
Indeed, I’ve seen several cases recently in https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/aW288uWABwTruBmgF/ where people have used the “Empathy” react in a way that makes much more sense if I interpret it as “heart symbol” than as “empathy”.
