That's not confusing :)

It looks like the founder was just trying to kick off discussion without being explicit about her involvement. The submitter (Aaron Lin) is also part of the organization.

In the scheme of things, I give them a pass. Raising attention for an initiative like this can be challenging. It's not actually dishonest.

" It's not actually dishonest."

dishonest - Intended to mislead or cheat.

Raising any initiative with multiples of free 100k carrots is super easy. Why do they have to resort to all other tactics?
