Can someone explain why this is downvoted?

I would agree that protests alone are less effective than if they are combined with other things.

Garry Tan and Paul Graham are lauding DOGE (I, like pretty much everyone else, am also all for employing new technology to optimize business and government) but have not expressed concern about the 20 million people who have lost access to lifesaving medicine except for possibly vague suggestions about "proceeding cautiously" with respect to dismantling USAID. Why would anyone want to associate with people who have such disregard for human life? Do Elon and Trump possess personally compromising information on Paul and Garry? Or is this, as you suggest, just Paul and Garry revealing their true colors?

Before this is flagged, I would appreciate it if someone could explain the benefit of removing educational videos and/or how it saves taxpayers money
