Other issues aside, CatalyzeX has annoyed me for a long time. The creators of the extension used to spam almost all ML/DL related social media. Maybe they still do, I don't know cos now I've stopped following all of those platforms.

Why did it annoy me so much? - They would share the popular, latest papers that most people in the ML sphere would anyways come across if they follow academia twitter or ML subreddit. That is fine in itself but no, those posts would hijack the original source (mostly arxiv or respective project page) by taking you to the CatalyzeX website which is mainly designed to drive traffic to it and has all sorts of irritating design patterns. Mostly, it just felt dishonest and a blatant shadowing of the original authors' hard work to me.
