Have you heard the ancient tale of Unidan The Redditor?
Unidan had credibility when it came to biology and ecology. When he commented on matters within his domain of expertise, he got all the upvotes. It was great having someone like that around. When there was a topic/thread/question about biology that one needed a credible answer to, all one had to do was summon Unidan typing his name.
It's a great pity he broke the rules and was banned.
- eastWestMath 8y agoEhhh, that's a bit of simplistic take on the Unidan story, a lot of scientists were happy to see him go. He spent a lot of time marketing himself so that he became THE biology guy on reddit. The problem is that biology is a pretty broad field, so a lot of his answers were basically wikipedia recaps paraphrased into his "Unidan" voice - answers by people actually knowledgable in the matter at hand would get drowned out (and downvoted by Unidan's alternate accounts, of course).
