Thanks for explaining that! 
So essentially, right now the CredSperiment incentivizes creating trails through content by linking as much relevant content as possible. This has the effect of making relevant content accessible at all times and flowing cred to supporting work that made current posts possible.
This is imperfect, however, because it incentivizes people to add links to their stuff, but not other people’s (same goes for liking actually). Because we’re at Trust Level 1 this is ok, but as we transition to a more open and potentially adversarial environment this needs to be addressed.
