And how did it end? Was it published? Did they get off the fucking mailing list? Wikipedia doesn't say.

It does:

…the paper was reviewed, and its appropriateness for the journal's publishing criteria was rated as "excellent" by the journal's peer-review process. It was accepted for publication with minor editorial changes. The paper was not actually published, as Vamplew declined to pay the required US$150 article processing charge. This case has led commenters to question the legitimacy of the journal as an authentic scholarly undertaking.

At first I was like "come on! Do it for the bit!", but then I remembered that, far from having the "make a Broadway sized song and dance number telling mining mogul Bob Murray to eat shit"* money of Last Week Tonight, scientists tend to be less than extravagant in their capital holdings..

What a way to end the season, though! ❤️😂

Oh, thank you. I stopped reading when it started to talk about someone else 9 years later, I thought it would be some other controversy. I wish he crowdsourced the $150 though. I wonder how many citations it could have gotten...
