This is a perfect example of a Hacker News hot-take, you complain about their attitude while making zero reference to their actual accomplishments or failures. No one will downvote you for posting something factually incorrect, because you didn't post any facts at all.

For anyone else reading, a good example of what EAs do can be seen with the GiveWell charity: https://www.givewell.org/top-charities-fund

Lots of anti-malaria and vitamin stuff (as a cheap way to save lots of lives). There are also tons of EA animal charities too, such as Humane League: https://thehumaneleague.org/our-impact
