There's nothing wrong with effective altruism -- making money to give it away -- it's SBF.
Of course there is. The whole thing is a cult, designed to pull in suckers.
Your argument is guilt by association. Association with something that isn't morally wrong, it's just a way to try to spend money on charity in an effective way? You can take a lot of ideas too far and end up with a bad result of course.
