I'm especially angry about the insinuation that the problem is false research not from pure research institutions. As if there isn't a huge pressure of publishing as much as possible especially at these institutions. It's the places where researchers under pressure can hide behind these stupid assumptions that will be the actual problem, not a few randos undertaking the work of publishing without a .edu email.
