is there a system to stop people from doing this or it's just unlimited exploit for a free "high impact" academic career?

why is it garbage? It could help one academic career tremendously. I need to know in case I need to farm citation in the future.

My papers can be of high enough quality and I can still do this to increase citation counts.

if your papers were of high enough quality, they would get published and cited on more popular journal hosts :^)

what if I have like 5k citations? wouldn't that add crediblity. people like Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton basically did the same thing with their ICLR conference and it turned into a legit top tier venue so it is possible.

To all the anons clowning OP, american psychology before the replication crisis became common knowledge was exactly like this. A closed group of professors reviewing each other’s work, accepting it, accepting each other’s students for research, agreeing to be examiners and whatnot. Things have changed in the decade and a half since then, but don’t think this doesn’t occur.
