"Arxiv...is prestigious among preprint servers". What an interesting sentence. (I don't disagree.) But note that this implies that the preprint server plays a journal-like role in being used to judge paper quality. (Again, I don't disagree.)
It's almost as if we can't get away from using proxies to judge quality.

@adredish@neuromatch.social @jonny@neuromatch.social @neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social I agree - and it's totally silly. If academia treats this with its usual m.o., we'll have prepreprint servers before we know it 🤣🙄😬
