Do you think that people will start to read preprints for what they really are? If that's the case then I think they'll never go away. Open review by peers before publication is incredibly useful compared to peer review. Imagine if these 3 papers could have been scrutinized before getting that Lancet peer review stamp that has led to bad policy decisions and research decisions by so many. People would have started questioning Surgisphere's data sooner and wouldn't have taken their results so seriously.
