Yep. As soon as you read the title you know it's useless.
Either too expensive, or it only works at a microscopic level but doesn't scale, or just doesn't actually work.
It's like all the cancer cures you hear about that unfortunstely mostly don't pan out. Just clickbait headlines.
That one is worse than you think. More than one viable cancer cure was destroyed by stock market shenanigans - bad actors short sell the company in to the ground, take over the board, destroy what's left of the company, sell off what they can piecemeal while trashing the rest, and they do it that way only because they don't have to pay back those shorted stocks with no company anymore, they don't at all care what the company is doing only that they can parasitize it. It's twisted as hell.
Got a source for this? Sounds like an interesting story
I had it linked in my reddit account which I wiped clean months ago.. if I have time I'll search the account dump for it though.
