> why does it bother you to give attribution? why do you think crediting the writer impacts how the piece stands?

clearly it does to you?

thing is, this is a fool's errand to try to police what people credit when there is zero capability of verification and enforcement

the current social norms still value authorship, so people will just take or omit credit as they see most advantageous, even if it's merely an ego advantage, which it typically is but a proxy for brand building

what will happen if/when the currency of attribution is completely altered? hard to predict

my prediction is that track record will be considerably more important, not less, but human merit will be increasingly seen as irrelevant
