Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

While I'm not particularly against what you're saying, I think you overlook other issues with the older internet's culture of not wanting/taking credit.
One only has to look at things like the "cheezeburger" corporation that made millions off of marketing lolcat memes that they had no hand in creating or even much hand in proliferating to see that people not taking credit isn't a golden solution to prevent misuse and abuse by companies out to make a quick buck.
