@RustyBertrand it's hard enough finding out a paper exists, let alone tracking down a complete stranger and emailing them out of the blue in the age of ubiquitous scams to try give you something for free.
I get it works, but it's not really an effective communication route.
Also backwards: not paying your writers. More scientists should just read their papers in monitized youtube videos. At least they'd get a small return.
@the_wiggler Thats what Twitter was for. And part or why it was destroyed.
