Know what else is great for that? RSS feeds.

Yeah but no. It’s not an RSS feed per se. It’s researchers sharing what they publish and what other publish with ints or resumes sometimes. Then people would comment and researchers reply.

Never went away, they’re still used by independent websites. A potential hurdle was that Firefox dropped native support at one point
