I'd argue that venture capitalists are the cause of lack of scientific breakthroughs.
Are we going to hear about enshittification in academia, too? Ugh.
Enshittification is pump-and-dump for companies over years instead of stocks over days/months.
Academia's problems with replication and funding for null/negative results have been known about for a while and are a separate problem. I guess it could be argued that they're related in that maybe an academic's career shouldn't be based on the profit cycle of their institution.
