Nobody is doubting that accessible and correct information is good for humanity, I am questioning how will that affect knowledge/content providers.

I repeat, what will be the motivation of an individual to share or provide valuable information if you decrease or eliminate any control of where and how that information appears?

Forum users don’t seem to mind. Reddit, HN, Twitter, Facebook, etc. are all examples of users freely providing valuable content without expectation or control.

I suppose it’s also not too different from a listener summarizing a speech. When you speak publicly you don’t get to control who hears it or how they will interpret it.

Very late to reply. Still you take part in a community, you have an identity and you get likes, karma, followers and credibility. Motivation is present just like in monetized systems and you choose where it appears and its related to your account.

In the meantime, I did relize I might have overblown consequences of what a product collecting and summarizing knowledge might cause.
