There's an entire media ecosystem for this sort of stuff now.
Step 1. Write a crappy paper or make an otherwise ill supported claim in the scientific community.
Step 2. Scientific community says "hey that work is not good."
Step 3. Run to media outlets that are thirsty for "look at how this community doesn't permit alternative thought" narratives.
Step 4. Pivot into reactionary grifting, rake in patreon cash.

- fwungy 3y agoStep 1. Write crappy paper Step 2. Seek peer review. Step 3. Wait months for peer review Step 4. Apply to journals for publish Step 5. Wait months for journal publish Step 6. Add paper to CV Most research papers are garbage, and almost completely ignored, unless it can be used as a cite in a similar crappy paper. The major journals aren't going to take your paper unless you already have a reputation, or you're connected to someone with a reputation. They aren't going to take a poorly thought out provocation piece from a nobody, when they are swamped with poorly written garbage from researchers trying to make tenure.
