I am thinking in the exact opposite direction: stop this publication influence, citations SEO and plagiarism madness.
Get shit done and put it on your blog.
Normal people hear ideas, forget them, internalize them and regurgitate them as their own all the time. While you're scouring databases and calling libraries to try to find who's got access to the paper you're looking for because it looks like a primary source of what you're working on, you could be experimenting from secondary sources or even from textbooks if the thing is now mainstream enough.
OK what if the experimental setup is hard to replicate and I just make up attractive sounding claims for for my blog with flashy graphics and a folksy charming writing style?
what's the difference with today? You didn't fight for the author's order and you didn't spent months on publication issue, but your bullshit is still in the wild.
If you want to be in Nature today, you need attractive claims and flashy graphics already. And the peer review is just not working, they are favoring already famous people and ideas.
