Publish it to social media and you get the prestige and points without paying the $1000!

I don't think you can convert social media prestige points to academia prestige points

Unless you are popular enough, that you get honorary degrees

But why? If the science is accurate and reproducible, where it is published shouldn't matter. Like if I solved one of those unsolvable math problems and posted the answer and my work to Reddit or another popular social media, surely someone important would find out. Right?

After it’s published, do you get to do whatever you want with it? Like put it on your own website with a link to where it was published?

It's common practice to share papers when requested for no fee.

In France, we are allowed by law to share the final text of any paper for free after a 6-month embargo, whatever the publishing licence we signed.
