Academia.edu has become unusable. In 2010 it was really nice research tool. Today I've downloaded three papers and it took five hours altogether - when the website doesn't crash, it crashes the browser (3 different ones); on both two six month old mobile phones and a brand new advanced Linux laptop. The mobile phones, we even had to reboot several times. Having been a hardware and software engineer for over forty years, I didn't expect this to be possible in 2022. Contact details doesn't exist, deleting an account doesn't make any impression, clicking to close pop-up windows is a waste of time, routine trees go into a loop of not doing anything forever and whatever doesn't take ten minutes, takes fifteen. I now see the bunch of plebs are from San Francisco, which explains a lot: probably not one of them properly semi-literate, being ruled over by one clown after the other. The only reasons I could carry on the frustration for five hours, are a handful of very serious pain medication - and my godson of fifteen competing on his mobile phone to see which is worse - thoroughly enjoying the rubbish-impregnated vacuum-skulls of the backward simpletons behind this orgasmic academia.edu disaster. God save the (new) king and the rest of us from this preposterous laughingstock. PS: Where is the button to add a rating of -300, please?
