Neuroscience. I think the last straw was where I had a review article on a specialist topic rejected from a couple of fancy journals. Rather than rewrite it for a lower tier, I modified it for Wikipedia. It got insta-banned and I got scolded/black marked for plagiarism. It was truly a "but I am Pagliacci" moment. Nobody in the chat page believed it or seemed to want to listen.

Sorry to hear that. What a weird experience. Glad you removed yourself from a bad situation. Cheers!

Well you know the tenure treadmill. This was 15+ years ago so Wiki contributions weren't counted towards professional activity. It literally wasn't worth the effort given the other options. Cheers to you as well!
