Many academics, perversely, do volunteer work for the multinationals that financially milk academia. Worse, these corporations have 'captured' academia in that many academics chase the brands they own (high-impact journals), and the metrics they control, above all else.

Decision Markets Predict Replicability of Online Experiments
A new study published in Nature Human Behaviour suggests that a tool similar to a stock market could help scientists identify research findings that are likely to hold up to scrutiny. The study, conducted by a group of social scientists from around the world, tested the ability of a "decision market" to predict which results from previously published social science experiments would be successfully replicated.
