@ztj interesting point. it does seem like a lot more work overall though to make up a name and actually back it up with evidence of a real person behind it like social media accounts etc. so just seeing a byline might not be evidence in its own, but does provide more material to verify the source

@joe I think part of the reason it was so quickly identified is because all they did was come up with a fake name and put no other effort to make it seem like a real person.

At any rate, I'd happily take the L on this prediction of efficacy if it meant more people properly credited works as they really should be doing anyway, so, everyone inspired by this feel free to prove me wrong 😎
