Publish it to social media and you get the prestige and points without paying the $1000!

I don't think you can convert social media prestige points to academia prestige points

But why? If the science is accurate and reproducible, where it is published shouldn't matter. Like if I solved one of those unsolvable math problems and posted the answer and my work to Reddit or another popular social media, surely someone important would find out. Right?

This guy missed the "funding" kpis. No one gives jobs on prestige points, you need to bring in Kilo-$ or kilo-euros
