Can someone please explain why my post got flagged? Did I overlook something in the posting guidelines, perhaps?

I could offer an answer to your question but it would also get flagged :)

Because users flagged it.

That pushes the question to "why did users flag it," but it's not hard to speculate reasons why. A dedicated minority roll their eyes at discussions of AI safety. On top of that, although the article itself is sound, it's targeted at non-technical people, and the domain it's hosted on isn't well-regarded (trending banner on top: "What happens when you hold in a fart?")

Ok, thank you for pointing that out.

At the end of the paper, they mention "three factors over which the crowdfunding founder has complete control: the goal, the number of reward options and the duration.
