Stop writing papers!!!!!!!
If you're a grad student on the job market beg for talks from people wherever you know. Ask them to record the talk and put it up on your website. That's your CV.
The only way out of this is for the talented people to exit the rat race of publishing altogether. Let arXiv be saturated by sloppers.
If talented people choose Exit over Voice, then the whole journal system doesn't matter and if they publish cheap reproducible slop they'll collapse under their own weight.
Choose Exit!!!!!! Be the force behind a total collapse of academic status quo.

@nihilunbounded what can we do nihil? A lot of competitive math people are not gonna let a rando solve fancier problems than they can. If new norms for quality are set up and rewarded, then only then will we see this stopping. But this will require a total reset Annals, Invent., JAMS closedView quoted post on X
