Those people are reposting stuff from here. They don't actually have it. u/lambaus reposted @dennis_d's pics for exapmle.
And of course they get the credit for it in Electrek articles...

From an Electrek article:
Those pics are originally from @dennis_d
The release notes were posted by me, other people getting thanked for it...
Sorry about that, I was one of the people thankedFrom an Electrek article:

I would write to Eletrek and at least get the article corrected.
It's not really your fault, only Electrek's for not looking into where the info originates from...
I DM'd the guy on Twitter shortly after the article was published but no anwser...
I now understand why @wk057 is watermarking everything
FWIW,
(1) Sorry about what happened. If correct attribution matters, from my past Internet life doing something else, I would highly recommend drafting a writeup, sending it to Fred, waiting for it to post on Electrek, then you can post your discussion thread on Reddit or TMC afterwards.
(2) I don't think any of those who Fred assigned credit to had a say in the matter. Electrek was probably just trying to get the story out rather than trace the full lineage of all the photos across 22 pages of this thread and a few hundred Reddit comments.
(3) I think those doing summarizing and imgur rehosts were still doing a valuable service with no malicious intent to steal credit. Forum attachments and Youtube videos get pulled all the time. And speaking of 22 pages, only a select handful of us dorks comb through 425 posts to put all this info together. The rest just want a one-stop-shop.
Nobody said the reposters are at fault, it is Fred's mistake
One could argue responsible reposting could also entail assigning credit for where the originals were found. The same rigor expected out of academic citation. But yeah, that doesn't really happen, but it's probably something the Reddit mods should consider for future megathreads.
Yeah, i was definitely just trying to get the full release notes out and didn;t even think that it would be recirculated to the point that I would get credit. In hindsight, I should have linked the original post but I also had to split it into 3 separate comments because it was so long, so i was annoyed with reddit to the point were I wasn't thinking about this

Yep... Seems like I'm not the only one struggling to read the road signs
Listening to Amish Paradise while driving with an unreleased update for a high powered electric car. I like it.
