#5> The articles used to have automatic comments sections after each, but the members were such know-it-alls that the site, despite paying staff very well, had difficulty retaining authors. Eventually, that particular place nuked its comments because these members were just the worst type of internet experts, and authors didn’t want their serious work to be followed by a thousand forum comments that begin with ‘well actually.’”
Well actually, author-marketers didn’t like paying money for an “article” only to get trashed for it.
And site operators didn’t want “authors” to realize their “serious” product placements caused a negative impression.

He convinced a lot of people that he was an expert at all things science despite using an incredibly immature writing style. It turns out he was a lawyer!
