There’s also a dynamic of something like… this is one of those issues where being too interested in the problem is correlated with being bad at solving it. Obviously you have to compromise on this a little or these kinds of things never get done, but if someone’s only qualification is interest I think the EV is very negative.
That sounds really discouraging, so I want to tell @tailcalled: I think it’s great you care about people are want to prevent them from being hurt. I think the easiest, least risky way to do that is to create abundance so people have less dependence on any one entity and are thus less vulnerable. The more parties being thrown by people who aren’t creeps (or harboring creeps), the easier it is to avoid the parties that are. So I’d encourage you to start by building socially, rather than investigation.
