Ann (no last name) argues, "The fact that only a few of the same folk get the grants and full-time positions and book deals and publications is because instead of acknowledging the labour you have learned from, you extract and run... We need more people who want to use their space and positions to support and highlight the work already out there, the work that is hiding in grey literature space and other open education spaces." My own observations support Ann's arguments; I've seen any number of academic papers credited with 'inventing' or 'discovering' things long evident in the community.
