While it may be profitable for us on the short term to create unethically, there are many factors to consider, for example in Democratising Research. The mentalities we shape with our work are our colleagues too, and now some are pushing to democratise research. While there are some good aspects of it, please rest assured that it will most likely not be for you. If the concept of democratizing research reaches your company, your colleagues can vote and then tell you what to do. How much of a challenge is it already to present your work? Do you have to alter it over and over and over? If pleasing a handful of bosses is hard enough, pleasing your teammates will be even more so.
