I’m evaluating how much I should invite people from the channel to LessWrong, so I’ve made a market to gauge how many people would create a LessWrong account given some very aggressive publicity, so I can get a per-video upper bound. I’m not taking any unilateral action on things like that, and I’ll make a LessWrong post to hear the opinions of users and mods here after I get more traders on this market.
I guess one thing to think about is that Less Wrong is somewhat stricter on moderation than EA, so I wonder if inviting people to the EA forum would be a more welcoming experience?
I was thinking about publishing the post to hear what users and mods think on the EA Forum too, since some videos would link to EA Forum posts, while others to LW posts.
I agree that moderation is less strict on the EA Forum and that users would have a more welcoming experience. On the other hand, the more stringent moderation on LessWrong makes me more optimistic about LessWrong being able to withstand a large influx of new users without degrading the culture. Recent changes by moderators, such as the rejected content section, make me more optimistic than I was in the past.

If you mention Less Wrong, you might want to think carefully about how to properly set expectations.
