The measurement is kinda off with EAs though.

First, the effective altruists did a bunch of harm to get all the money, then put it on something focused that not everyone agrees is the best thing to do with it.

They can measure the results of the spending as being higher, but don't account for the harm they needed to do to accumulate the money.

How do you measure spending that will only affect people living in the distant future? This is the problem with the longtermist end of the EA movement.
