What is the value of a back reference?

any time anyone has referenced your material on the public web, you will receive a link back to that material. you can find more of your audience by following those backlinks. it's not helpful to get 20,000,000 views on a tweet when it's shared by screenshots with my name in it that someone would have to deliberately type out--not even copy and paste--but type out--and then search for me on the platforms in which we are at their mercy? why not just use OCR to pull the text and generate companion links. CREDIT the author. you know that's not terribly hard at all to do. you could do it with a little tinkering with python libraries back in the day, by now, i'm sure you could stand something respectable up in a day.
