It’s like not only the technology is to blame, but the culture and incentives of modern world.
The urge to cheat in order to get a job, promotion, approval. The urge to do stuff you are not even interested in, to look good in the resume. And to some extent I feel sorry for these people. At the end of the day you have to pay your bills.
This isn't about paying your bills, but having a chance of becoming a full time researcher or professor in academia which is obviously the ideal career path for someone interested in science.
All those people can go work for private companies, but few as scientists rather than technicians or QAs.
