I was always strongly against preprints, for many reasons. This was a very unpopular opinion in the good old bird site days, and when I said that I got weird looks from everyone.
I still think preprints are awful, and they're not getting any better.

The amount of antisemitism I’m seeing here, even from fellow earth scientists I have interacted with quite a lot in the old Twitter days, is disappointing.

How do you get copper in post-subduction porphyry deposits? You flush ancient sulfide cumulates with deeper oxidised magmas!

No matter how far you zoom in it's all sharp corners. Any finite stretch along the x-axis becomes a terrible mouth lined with infinite teeth. Every pointed sliver opens up into a thousand hungry little razors.

And he then *asked himself a question* which he then answered for a further 3-4 minutes before finally getting off the stage. I can't even remember what the talk was about.

What an ass.
