SourceCred Timing Questions

Yeah. I hope that the norm will be that people link out to others’ posts, even if it isn’t formally incentivized, I think that it will become a communal norm. It’s pretty easy to tell if someone only links their own stuff (both implicitly and via explicit discovery) and I think people like to give credit to each other.

(as a case study: academia seems pretty good about creating citations, even though doing so is not formally incentivized, afaik)

The curators can also help with cases where contributions are going un-recognized, since curators are always incentivized to create new links.
