The whole system is so messed up on multiple levels. You not only have to publish some result that is correct (true) but it also has to be positive (support your hypothesis) and sufficiently "important " to your field or else your whole career is at risk.
I'm posting this while running an experiment at 11pm on a Saturday night trying to collect data for a grant application. Of course I'm going to lose if I'm competing against people who just make shit up.
The publication or reproduction crises comes for a reason.
In my opinion, the flaws of the current system are well-documented and even understand to a degree. The actuall problem is to come up with a new system. This system has to be objectiv and fair and must measure the quality of scientists' work.
