I don't agree with the list of "most prominent themes in terms of short-term behavioral advice" mention in the original post, but I also don't think that it is completely unfounded:

  • 55 upvotes on a comment of someone donating the the current balance of his bank account.
  • 15 upvotes on a request for more discussions of general cognitive enhancing tools such as Adderall and N-Back.
  • 42 upvotes on a post that claims that you are a lousy parent if you don't sign up your kids for cryonics.
  • Eliezer telling people to put hope into cryonics and advanced nanotechnology rather than "Noble Lies".

What is most salient or most available for you may not be so for everyone else or even most of the readership.
