anyone here have an academia.edu account and can look up the papers to see if I'm the one they think is being written about or if it's the research veterinarian who has the same initial + last name as me?

They emailed me again today trying to get me to upgrade. I have a seriously hard time believing that 110 people have mentioned me
@mlemweb I get "three papers have mentioned you" which makes the alerts possible because they're infrequent enough esp since who knows if someone tags my 20+ year old philosophy papers, or someone mentions me these days regarding computer generated literature.

I think it's all a big scam. Facebook sells their data secretly & everyone freaks out. Academia.edu openly sells their data to desperate academics who need validation.
