Instead of becoming a more or less of a clone of Facebook news feed for researchers, RG has become infuriatingly full of nag boxes, and in its efforts to get you use the website more prevents you from actually using it at all.

Some are useful. But it has begun to cross the line. For example, the nags for their new feature for organizing research into projects are annoying, and then I started getting notices that a deadline was approaching for an update to my project. Eff that. I have plenty of real deadlines already.
I disagree. Most posts are manuscripts, or parts of them. It really helps for me to keep up with my field.
That sounds exactly like Facebook.
