Why did it annoy me so much? - They would share the popular, latest papers that most people in the ML sphere would anyways come across if they follow academia twitter or ML subreddit. That is fine in itself but no, those posts would hijack the original source (mostly arxiv or respective project page) by taking you to the CatalyzeX website which is mainly designed to drive traffic to it and has all sorts of irritating design patterns. Mostly, it just felt dishonest and a blatant shadowing of the original authors' hard work to me.
And finding your Imdb profile was a nice addition on top ;)

Though Would like to add the that original brightwork article sounds like a conspiracy theory
Robert Cialdini, in his famous book - "Psychology of persuasion", talks about an extreme version of such an effect in the case of Fraternities and Hazing where the members of fraternities display a greater commitment and respect towards their respective fraternity even though they might have had to go through a harsh and humiliating initiation process.
In this sense, IKEA effect, "find" effect, "my kid is the best" effect etc can all be traced to a common ancestor phenomena.
