Is there money in writing crap "research" papers like this?

I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?

People also do this to take the piss out of a junk journal. Usually ones that let anything through

Ooooohhhh... That's a thing? Let me guess, I have to pay to publish my ChatGPT-authored "research" proving that cats are actually aliens?
