When I read the title, I thought "Surely this Larry cannot be more cited than the famous F. D. C. Willard". But then I read the article and it turns out that's very specifically the record Larry broke.
It feels very strange to me that any serious citation counter would index ResearchGate, which AFAIK don't have any check before publishing a preprint. It is basically a more reputable vixra.
But then again citation count, or "impact factor", are in general quite bad to determine the quality of one's research, and often can be easily manipulated even through legitimist means: simply publish more mediocre papers.

fuckers edited my cat
cant have shit in published academia
I read it as "world's most excited cat" and was confused on how someone is supposed to interpret from that face as the cat being "excited" 😅
This face is as excited as a cat can get.
