It's being destroyed by the very people meant to uphold it.
I disagree. The people who start the phony Publishing houses that accept any paper and don't peer review it, and the people who seek to publish in these 'journals' so that they can get another notch in their fume hood, were never in it for the joy of science. They were in it to 'publish' so they can put their name to another study, and hopefully get 'grants'.
It's never about discovery or knowledge for them. It's the person who follows bugs around the jungle for 10 years to see what they can learn, and then publishes a paper on it, those are the people in it for science.
