idea: we fundraise money to run ads on 4Chan saying “DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN BE A GIRL IF YOU WANT TO?”

Banner ads are $50 for 250,000 views, which translates to 20 cents per view*. Transition normally saves 6.5 QALYs at a cost of $23,619 or $9314 per QALY**. Let’s assume for convenience’s sake that exactly one person out of those 250,000 realizes that she can in fact be a girl if she wants to, and decides to transition. This means we’d be adding $50 to the total cost of helping someone gain 6.5 QALYs, or $7.7 per QALY. Givewell’s estimate of AMF’s effectiveness give us a figure of $2,838 per child’s life saved***. Assuming the child would otherwise live for 60 years, all of which are a full QALY, this translates to $47.3 per QALY. *https://www.4chan.org/advertise?selfserve **http://nonbinary-confessions.tumblr.com/post/132018260580/societal-implications-of-health-insurance-coverage ***http://www.givewell.org/international/top-charities/AMF#Costperlifesaved

Oh yes. BRB figuring out 1. where to get money 2. how to optimize the impact of the ads 3. how much total money needs to be collected to become efficient when the costs of creating the advertisements are practically fixed
