hi nerd teacher!
a. i'm interested in how some of the things you talk about are publishing problems, not anarchist problems. (how does one get people to pay attention to some no-name author when people have limited time and want to have some idea of whether someone is worth taking the time to read, for example?) This is made more complicated by anarchists who want to write anonymously or under pen names, but it's only a matter of degree, not of type.
b. along a similar line, you're taking an anti-organizational stance, at least imo, which also has little to do with anarchists and more to do with organizations (and i agree with you, fwtw, that one would hope that anarchists would be less likely to fall prey to this kind of thinking, or lack thereof).
there's lots more to say, but don't want to write a wall of text. thanks for writing this stuff and (re)starting this conversation.
