This is why I always ask what name the beta wants to be credited by. Sometimes they'll tell me their ao3/discord name, sometimes they'll tell me a nickname or initial, and sometimes they'll say, "oh, you don't need to mention me." And then I follow their request. If they helped me with brainstorming instead of spag, I'll make sure to note that in my a/n, or if I went back and made massive changes after they saw it I'll do the "remaining mistakes are mine".

Like, a beta did you a solid favor by looking over your fic. How hard is it to thank them the way they want to be thanked?

I have never had a beta do anything worth crediting.
