I am receiving around one e-mail per month, at least, with this subject. So the question is once more raised…why, as a professional and a researcher should I be interested to “preemptivee generation” of a random article from my scientific literature body of work?

In addition to not wanting this, and getting mildly irritated (but this is my fault), I also need to spend unwarranted time and energy to interrupt this sterile flow of information. Why? Because in order to do this I need to log in in my profile on this prestigious platform for the promotion of academic content, and toggle off an option which I never toggled on in the first place. In the meantime, people are suffering, and the ice caps are melting (o vice versa, you choose the order).

If you know of a valid reason for which, in a professional space, the preemptive generation of podcasts based on your original content makes sense, please let me know at micalosapevo@pibinko.org or +393317539228. I will be glad to buy you a drink the next time we meet.

p.s. clearly – is it worth to unsubscribe from the prestigious platform and then risk being told by fellow scientist “hey, are you not on ABCDEFGXXXX? come oooon” (choose your favourite accent)
