Thank you for your long response. I did read the whole thing. All the examples you gave sound like examples of credibility that our readers should see more of.

When I talk about credibility I try to be very clear that 1st hand experience gives a lot of credibility (i.e. Jason) and that it matters in advice categories (i.e. not Fiction).

In advice categories (i.e. many professional topics here, writing, health, productivity), we have a lot of reader feedback about being swamped by clickbait. That's a natural downside of our current recommendation system which is very heavily weighted for engagement. Our system tends to think that if you clicked on a thing and read to the bottom that it's good. But with clickbait, the piece has a compelling title, an intro with a strong promise, and then by the end it delivers either nothing or nothing that is correct or helpful.

That's the problem we are solving for. In my current knowledge, credibility doesn't make much sense in poetry or fiction. I've been asking about this and am open to being wrong and have been asking people about it.
