"Everyone else here" does not do that. Disclosures are spotty, & chiefly in relation to current-employment. And many agree links-in-bio are a sufficient & appropriate way to disclose affiliations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27209830
My "self-interest" in the Archive is exactly the agreement-with-its-mission that is self-evident by my strong opinions. The post words themselves are a stronger disclosure-of-interest than any extra mention of previous employment would be.
And further, all sorts of extensive details of my projects & work history – and not just with respect to the current topic! – are described a couple clicks away.
Have you disclosed anything about your "reputational, monetary, etc" "self-interest", here or on any other topic? Show me how you do it, inquistor. Or, do you somehow manage to only ever comment on things in which you have no personal interest, nor related professional involvements?
Note that I fully support your right not to declare such things.
It's just rich to criticize someone like myself – with neither hidden opinions nor a hidden work history – from your perch of obfuscation.
