I’m especially excited about giving money to people who have been credibly silenced and intimidated. I think this is good, but will systematically spread info about wrongdoing.
If it’s money for “credible signs of intimidation” maybe that’s less gameable.
Actually, I do know of an example of y’all offering money to someone for defending an org you disliked and were suspicious of. @habryka, did that money get accepted?
(The incentive effects are basically the same whether it was accepted or not, as long as it’s public knowledge that the money was offered; so it seems good to make this public if possible.)
That summary is inaccurate, so I don’t think there is any org for which that is true. I offered money to both Zoe Curzi and to Cathleen for doing info-gathering on Leverage stuff, but that was explicitly for both positive and negative information (and happens to have been offered in roughly equal measure, with Zoe writing a quite negative piece and Cathleen writing a relatively positive piece).
