I wish more LW users had Patreons linked to from their profiles/posts. I would like people to have the option of financially supporting great writers and thinkers on LessWrong.

is this something you’ve considered building into LW natively?

I can give some context for that

please do!

gotcha. what would be the best way to send you feedback? i could do:

• comments here
• sent directly to you via LW DM, email, [dm through some other means] or something else if that's better

(while it's top-of-mind: the feedback that generated this question was that the chat interface pops up every single time open a tab of LW, including every time i open a post in a new tab. this gets really annoying very quickly!)

great! how do i access it on mobile LW?

i’d love access! my guess is that i’d use it like — elicit:research papers::[this feature]:LW posts

solved: i think you mean it as this wikipedia article describes:

The word albatross is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden (most often associated with guilt or shame) that feels like a curse.

what do you mean by "financial albatross"?

Domain: Various: Startups, Events, Project Management, etc

Link: Manifund, Manifold, and Manifest {2023, 2024: meeting notes, docs, budget}

Person: Various: generally, the Manifold, Manifund, and Manifest teams

Why: This isn't a video, but it's probably relevantly close. All Manifold-sphere things are public — all meeting notes, budgets/finances, strategy docs, etc. I think that someone could learn a lot of tacit knowledge based on how the Manifold-sphere teams work by skimming e.g. our meeting notes docs, which are fairly comprehensive/extensive.

this interview between alexey guzey and dwarkesh patel gets into it a bit!

i only spent a few minutes browsing, but i thought this was surprisingly well-made!
