    Is there money in writing crap “research” papers like this?

    I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?

      People also do this to take the piss out of a junk journal. Usually ones that let anything through

        Ooooohhhh… That’s a thing? Let me guess, I have to pay to publish my ChatGPT-authored “research” proving that cats are actually aliens?

      I have no idea, but I am guessing the religious right pays handsomely for anything “scientific” which supports their absolutely asinine beliefs.
