Hrm. Somewhat fair, but I think the current (as far as I can tell) selection effect of "people who regularly read the Givewell blog" is about as bad. I think people who don't currently read Givewell regularly, in part because it usually doesn't emphasize the sorts of things they care about, should have the opportunity to tell Givewell that they'd pay more attention if Givewell emphasized the sorts of things they care about.

I asked about this on the blog itself, will take this down if they ask me to.

They also sent a newsletter linking to the survey to their mailing list, so even if I don't read their blog that often I still took the survey because I had found out about it in the mail.
