I have published all my papers since 2023 on the web. None were peer reviewed, but on pre-print servers.
Einstein's 1905 papers were published without peer review.
I still get spam emails asking me to pay for papers I've already uploaded to public servers years ago.

The actual article was intended as a joke: https://vixra.org/abs/2405.0051 https://vixra.org/abs/2405.0051 yet fraudulent publishers continue to treat it as a serious article.
It would be nice if publishing a fake paper every now and then could serve like a sinkhole for scammers, but I would be too optimistic or naive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_sinkhole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_sinkhole
