Do you know the number of academics who have had to start side gigs like Deliveroo, or OnlyFans, etc?

The snooty privileged pricks mock them, and make their lives harder. They don't realise that ultimately they are hurting our society. Instead of focusing on research and generating high quality knowledge for future generations, they have to focus on their literal survival.

Academia now functions like an MLM and it is rapidly losing credibility.
