In short we need to all work together in the semweb as a team, using
the tools we have built to do that. It's really not difficult to do. :-)

Yep!
+1000.
Working as a team has proven to be a little harder than one assumed a
few years ago re. Linked Data bootstrap. Instead of collectively
building the cake and realizing its magnitude, there's been a tendency
to start scrapping of the poorly formed scraps :-(
When you truly comprehend the magnitude of the Linked Data opportunity,
the very last thing you'll want to do is own it all yourself, it will
kill you with indigestion, and that's if you're really lucky :-)
Instead of slapping the all problematic RDF label on Linked Data and
perpetually inviting and inciting syntax wars, we should be orienting
ourselves towards solutions that leverage the essence of Linked Data,
without compromise. Again, we can embrace and extend/cleanup scruffiness
since the net effect is to pour "opportunity costs" on the scruffy which
ultimately forces them on board anyhow!
