Oof only 100mil $ for what's probably billions of up/down "votes" and paid comments. And you can bet most probably goes to the Org chiefs in bonuses rather than the interns who have to type the shit and program the bots.

What do we name these shills? Sub 50 cent army? 2 pennies army?

Or maybe there are too many sleepy students.
Why not both lol.

There are some dogshit professors, yes. But the proficiency of the average student has also gone down the drain. It's gone to a point where the majority of my classmates can't write a coherent proof.

Studies show that the pandemic has wrecked the kids after 2+ years of lax online schooling. Couple that with potential long term COVID damage. It's no wonder that students who suddenly return to in-person university classes do poorly when the last time any standards were applied was back in 2018-19.

A good researcher doesn't necessarily make for a good teacher. Some professors who are brilliant at research have a rather abysmal aptitude for teaching others.
True but he's not a bad teacher since he was proven at Princeton, nobody complained before the pandemic and he literally wrote the textbook on organic chemistry.

I even talked to a professor about this way back in a simpler time. He was from Germany. I asked him what was different about US vs German schools. He said, "in Germany, we expected students to be at a certain level. When I came to the US I expected a similar level from my students, and it was a disaster. I have since readjusted my expectations. I am still adjusting them."

“Students were misreading exam questions at an astonishing rate,” he wrote in a grievance to the university, protesting his termination. Grades fell even as he reduced the difficulty of his exams.

The problem was exacerbated by the pandemic, he said. “In the last two years, they fell off a cliff,” he wrote. “We now see single digit scores and even zeros.”
This continuously degrading standard is exactly where I want American students to be. I want them to be so stunted that they can't even speak. Their answer to "what's your name?" should be "Ug. Me Ug."

Ukrainian official propagandists continue to claim that the "Тhe Ghost of Kiev" is real.



One more fake:



German journalists have exposed another fake of Kiev.

Ukrainian propaganda presented a whole box with gold teeth as "proof of the crimes" of the Russian armed forces in the village of Peski-Radkovskie, Kharkiv region.

Bild correspondents found out that the gold crowns belong to a local dentist.

When asked by German journalists if the crowns could have belonged to the victims, the dentist replied: "My God, no! They belonged to people I've treated over the years. I had those teeth removed because they were bad."

Yes. Tho I guess the problem for him (I not defending his firing) is that he went from one of the very top universities (some say it rank 1) to like a tier 2 university. Unsurprisingly, the level, competency, and dedication of the students between these facilities are going to be significantly different. It’s a shame NYU let him go but I guess it was inevitable if they want to pad their cash pile.
