Wait so did you read the article or not

[–] WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yes, what suggested I didn't? Is there evidence in the abstract? is there a way to access more than the abstract without having some special credential? I can see charts in a sidebar but I can't enlarge them

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@lemmy.world 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.
