   Are they doing to do something about authors using Arxiv to publish propaganda/opinion pieces but presented as research?

   ArXiv gives the appearance of scientific credibility that a blog post wouldn't have so I'm seeing the platform get abused.

   Example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49580164">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49580164

      Probably not because the whole point is they don&#x27;t do critical review

      That&#x27;s an error on your side not theirs

         Then just call it Substack.

            This comment is one of the most bizzare things I&#x27;ve seen here regarding ArXiv.
