I am struggling with writing, and I just posted this to our lab channel to vent. I thought I'd also send it here for the PhD students I do not advise. Just in case realizing that you're not alone in that struggle was the only thing you needed to start writing that paper :)

Reviewing for @MDPIOpenAccess is a waste of time and a corruption of the scientific peer review process. Yesterday I sent back a second major revision, frustrated that the authors had ignored many of my comments. Today, paper is accepted. What a farce.
