When I realized that my (beloved, at the time) #ResearchGate decided to associate with the publisher #MDPI (known for shady practices, neglecting the peer-review process, used to be on Beall's list of predatory publishers, etc.), I created a little document to demand that they stop the partnership.
They totally did not care, but my little "cover page" has been the most read document from Neuroscience and from my institution in the past few weeks and it got recommended 780 times, I don't think I'll ever beat that with a real paper! 😂​
It also started an interesting discussion, although I'm still not sure what the arguments in favour of MDPI are except 'other publishers are bad tooooo'. 🤔​
If you're curious, it's here until I close my account, i.e. tomorrow, on the last day of 2023!!
