You comments suggested it, again, did you pay to read the article or you just read the abstract?

No I didn't pay to read the article, that's my point. I read the available portion (the abstract). Making me pay to read whether an abstract has compelling evidence or not is a garbage m9del, that's my point

[–] freecandy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well you said it has zero evidence, which implies you read it

Ah yes, I should be forced to pay yo see if things are true. This is a sustainable model...

Oh wait no it isn't. Misinformation is at all time highs. Maybe scientists should study why?

My hypothesis: when things become expensive people improvise, this is true with Healthcare and education.
