Thank you. Not even saying this to shit on academia, but modern scientific publishing follows the same governing rules as publishing a YouTube video (in principle).

This used to be Springer Nature and the likes, but they've had so many retractions in the past years + they broke their integrity in the Schoen scandal, allowing lenience in the review process to secure a prestigious publication in their journal.
In reality, I mean you're probably my academic senior: How does true advancement get publicized these days? You post a YouTube video somewhere. See LK99. No peer review, no fancy stuff, a YouTube video was enough to get Argonne National lab on the case.
