RE: Ex Pfizer Science Chief: monetization of fake news

I agree, this is very unfortunate. I like to check often the "created" page on stemgeeks. But the past few month, it has been invaded by misinformation posts with clickbait titles. Some days, it was almost the only thing you could find. Like you said, it's pretty sure that scared off many people. But with the rewards they get with these type of posts, why wouldn't they? Unfortunately, a well documented and factual post debunking some of these posts would probably get downvoted or at the very least ignored (because facts usually don't sell) and make little rewards. So, people don't even bother.
