      Yes, I'm suggesting you're either a paid social media influencer OR you are unwitting EARNED MEDIA. Are you compensated for your social media activity? Were you directed toward this story or did you just notice the PR campaign and decided to respond?

      I've had a lot of hate in the last few years, but someone accusing me of being a paid shill for tweeting negatively about a study on semen quality and nut intake is peak absurd

      To be clear - I am not now, nor have I ever been, paid to do anything on social media. My blog earns the occasional dollar from Medium's metered paywall, but I can only wish that people would pay me for my tweets

          It’s crazy how you (and others) need to justify that you DON’T get paid for being great scientific writers. Yet pseudoscience and misinformation are making a mint! Let me be clear. You SHOULD get paid.

          The other side of the coin is that the rise in experts who are willing to write sensible stuff for free is one of the things that is putting journos out of a job ... But I don't think that's a bad thing.

          What I think is kind of amusing is that nearly the whole thread is invisible to me because I've previously blocked pretty much all the people in it 😂

          I believe you and I don't object if you do make money as an influencer. I see that you write for the Guardian so you have the platform to do so. I'm surprised you've never been approached. My issue is intellectual honesty.

          John. Go and have a look at the content of Marika Sboros and Ken Berry if you want to discuss intellectual honesty.

          "a shill for big nuts" is the phrase that applies to me at our porn shop.

          Love the idea that somebody at Big Nut is thinking "hmm, we do press releases and get tons of coverage, but what we REALLY need is one guy tweeting that our study sucks. Surely nobody will do that on their own so we've gotta budget for it"
