Savaging academics and authors for $$ is a disgrace.

It's the sort of thing that advertisers might want to be wary of? Having your brand tied to this is 2026? Hmm.

spoofing is clever but a bot having merge permissions with no secondary check is the architecture choice that made all of it possible
