Idk about you guys but the only reason I do peer review is to reject competitors and enemies.

If I really hate them, I give them a "Major Revision" aka a laundry list of expensive follow-up experiments and then reject them on the 2nd or 3rd round after a few months.

There's actually zero benefit to earnestly engaging in peer review.



It sounds like you would do well in many other businesses. Don't let academia hinder your potential. Have you considered selling timeshares to elderly people?


You are an exemplar of all that is wrong in academia, but I upvoted you because there are so many like you.

(I know it from personal experience).

Personally, I decided to leave and make a more honest living. It seems you chose not to.
