Seems like anyone can publish anything and call it a scientific paper these days. Or was that always the case?

I guess you could call me jaded, as this subreddit gets tons of "studies" that, when I looked into them, had poor methods or clear bias towards their conclusions. Though I will admit I didn't look into this particular study. Just very quickly skimmed the article.

Made me think the people behind this "study" didn't do any actual research into the subject beforehand. Like, it's a well known thing that many domesticated birds not only jam to music, but have individual music preferences.

Reply to Loot box purchasing is associated with gambling and problem gambling when controlling for known psychological risk factors of gambling by AddictiveBehaviorLab
No real surprise there, imo. Lootboxes are basically gambling. Just wrapped in a "fun and rewarding!" package in a game... And somehow still far less regulated than "regular" gambling.
