There's a context mismatch context here. EA is offering a philosophy of altruism. Where as most charities are organizations that put donations into direct action of some kind. These are different aims. It's a bit disingenuous to suggest that charities that aren't as efficient as others are pushing "ineffective altruism" unless they are literally scams.
