Papers? No. Academia as a whole? Absolutely. It is entirely for profit with zero care about quality. ESPECIALLY in physics.
Many papers are bad. Ideally scientists would spend years experimenting and mulling over and writing before publishing but unfortunately they pretty much much must write a public paper for every expriment they do.
Yeah, "Publish or Perish" is very real
