Sorry, Nature can't try to pull the Buzzfeed/Buzzfeed News schtick.

They can't have a clickbait journal where they use their name to lend it credibility it would otherwise not have, and then claim no this isn't "Nature" and try to keep their credibility.

Thanks for pointing this out, I missed that

This is becoming a perennial refrain in HN stories based on scientific papers. ("Oh, wait, this dubious study or lazy meta-analysis isn't really appearing in Nature, it's some other publication to which Nature has whored out their name and credibility.")

It sounds like the 150-year-old scientific journal of record has been taken over by private equity, or by MBAs with KPIs to optimize.

Very very poignant comment here.

Hackers news literally exists to perform lazy meta analysis

Like TedX diluted TED.
