The reproducibility crisis is a huge issue - there’s even a whole movement now called “registered reports” where journals accept studies based on methodology before results are known, which helps prevent p-hacking and publication bias that leads to all those unreproducable findings.
Yeah, the problem is that proper science is incredibly hard to do, and incredibly time intensive and thus expensive.
And since only a single metric (amount of published content) is really rewarded, anything else (including the fail-safes necessary for proper science) falls by the wayside.
