You're right, it's important. I really wish this wasn't something people did though.

Tragedy of the commons.

If you don't work to get noticed, people whose speciality is to scream and shout like babies while having absolutely zero technical knowledge are going to dominate. And there are a lot of them.

You don't even have to do that all the time, a few stern words once in a while are enough to put impostors in their place.
