The traditional "solution" to the supposed threat of "The rapists are invading" is to lock up women domestically and only allow one rapist at a time to do marital rape.

Imagine if legumes and grains were subsidized like animal meat and dairy is now. The meals would only cost the labor and heat energy.

There's a mutualism there. Assholes promote religion as a way to get status and impunity. Religion promotes assholes because they're useful in manipulating populations raised to be asshole-like.

It's worse if you realize how many people have this sociopathic attitude as if they're trying to literally speciate themselves and push their "inferiors" to extinction. Which is what this is, it's a biological arms race, the same kind of shit non-European indigenous people had to deal with due to European settler-colonial activity.
Editors can act as filters, which is required when dealing with an excess of information streaming in. Just like you follow celebrities on social media or you follow pseudo-forums like this one, you get a service of information filtration which increases the concentration of useful knowledge.
In the early days of modern science, the rate of publications was small, make it easier to "digest" entire fields even if there's self-publishing. The number of published papers grows exponentially, as does the number of journals. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333487946_Over-optimization_of_academic_publishing_metrics_Observing_Goodhart's_Law_in_action/figures
Just like with these forums, the need for moderators (editors, reviewers) grows with the number of users who add content.
Publishing comes with IP laws and copyright. For example, open access articles should be easy to upload without concern. "Private" articles being republished somewhere without license is "piracy", and ResearchGate did get in trouble for it. It's complicated. https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/publishers-settle-copyright-infringement-lawsuit-with-researchgate/4018095.article

How the meat and dairy industry is influencing the EU's agenda to reduce the climate footprint of diets and livestock
> InfluenceMap’s new analysis outlines a campaign over the last three years stemming from the meat and dairy industry against policy efforts to address the sector’s climate impact. The strategic advocacy appears to have had a significant impact on the ambition of EU policymaking related to the production and consumption of meat and dairy products in Europe. > > - This report examines corporate engagement from ten companies and five industry associations in the meat and dairy sector on six EU policies to reduce emissions in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2019 Special Report on Climate Change and Land use and 2022 Working Group III recommendations. > - The analysis suggests a split between different parts of the meat and dairy sector, with consumer goods focused companies, such as Unilever and Nestlé, appearing to engage more positively on the EU policies covered by this report than meat and dairy producer companies, such as Arla and Danish Crown. Industry associations representing these companies were highly engaged on these policies, appearing to align with the more oppositional positions taken by food producer companies. > - Meat and dairy producers, and the industry associations that represent them, use a combination of strategic narrative building and detailed policy engagement that mirrors the tactics of the fossil fuel industry to obstruct climate policy tackling the sector’s emissions. Both sectors employ similar misleading narratives through strategic public messaging to sow doubt and undermine the need to tackle GHG emissions from the meat and dairy sector.
> - The industry's efforts appear to have largely succeeded in attempts to weaken key climate policies aimed at the sector in the EU. Following intense corporate advocacy on the policies in 2020-23, a third of the policies included in this report were significantly weakened and half appear to have stalled following oppositional advocacy from companies and industry associations. This includes policies such as the Sustainable Food Systems Framework, a ‘flagship’ policy of the Farm to Fork Strategy, and the revision of the Industrial Emissions Directive which regulates pollutant emissions from European farms. > - Intensive advocacy appears to have influenced the main European conservative political party’s narratives regarding opposition to specific policies affecting the transition of diets and agricultural sector emissions, as well as their approach to the 2024 EU election. In 2022-23, the European People’s Party’s points of opposition to key policies and reducing GHG emissions from the sector mirrored narratives pushed by meat and dairy producers and the industry associations that represent them.
