> If you want to find an incentive to get undeserved attention

I think social media - such as HN comments that shoot down almost every OP without fail - is by far the best example? Most comments on social media on such things seek attention for being smarter-than-though and have no basis in anything, including the comment at the top of this thread by 'gidmkhealthnerd'.

> All the opposite of the academic world.

The pure academic world and the evil Media! If you're an academic, maybe we can something better than joining the mob against the bogeyman.



> such as HN comments that shoot down almost every OP without fail

If the OP can't handle criticism it's hard to argue that the attention is deserved
