@stux The cop threatened to shoot his dog unless he could beat him in a rap battle. The key was battling for keeps!

@mur2501 If you received 5 different follows from 5 different users on that instance within just a few minutes, then yea I'd say that sounds like a server-wide scam/spam instance. In that case it seems worth banning if that is the case. Can you link me the accounts that followed you so I can investigate further?

@bonifartius Which social science discipline do you think doesn't have good commercial opportunities? That said any discipline where there arent commercial opportunities in the first place is the very area where there is no financial interest in "buying off" the scientists.

@bonifartius Go work in research scientist and see for yourself. The truth is in even the most political of research the old trope of "we do what we need to for funding" is non-existant.

You have to remember 99%+ of scientists in research are making 1/3 of what they could make just going to work for the commercial companies directly. These scientists were never in it for the money.

In fact when a commercial interest wants fake science for their buck all they do is exactly that, hire scientists directly and then the company themselves do the research and publish it. Of course most people would be skeptical of such research, and should be. But its not as nefarious as you describe.
