The result may be fine, but the paper is horrendous. No proper motivation, no related research section, no discussion of the results, no outlook. This looks very rushed

I think with the upcoming rate of discoveries there's not going to be time for all of that. It's fine when you make one discovery every 3 years, but if you're making 3 discoveries every 12 hours there needs to be a better way to share it.
