Some use/used it as an RSS feed for researchers sharing papers.

Know what else is great for that? RSS feeds.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah but no. It's not an RSS feed per se. It's researchers sharing what they publish and what other publish with ints or resumes sometimes. Then people would comment and researchers reply.

Man what evet happened to those

...and a lot that are not that independent. I never stopped using RSS. It's only because it's not so easily monetized that it's not more widely known, I bet.
