My theory is that it is much psychologically easier to publish something you put little effort into and is mostly not your own work. Ego related fears are a strong motivator. Or maybe it's just a question of volume, idk.

Idk seeing the amount of intellectual dishonesty and lack of integrity people have nowadays I strongly doubt that former hypothesis, I feel like an idiot because I do things the hard way because I believe it to be beneficial for my personal growth while hordes of people claim to be geniuses with less than no information on a subject.

I think the latter is it.
