This article seems a bit rosy

I was approached by a Metamed director looking for investment when Metamed at an early stage. It was immediately obvious to me that the company would never get anywhere, although it would have eaten up any money they could get from me if I had been foolish enough to invest. Metamed's promotion of personalized clinical trials was laughable, and the idea that graduate students and PhDs in math/physics were qualified to give medical advice struck me as dubious. Now that it has failed, I am curious to know whether Metamed ever had a single customer. 60.250.123.228 (talk) 04:47, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MetaMed was hilariously terrible, but Wikipedia is constrained to the RSes. I think the Vassar quote is pretty amazing though - David Gerard (talk) 14:08, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another obvious sign that things smelled of long-dead fish was the involvement of Alex Wissner-Gross. 60.250.123.226 (talk) 13:54, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Metamed home page with the equations for the free quantum field on a blackboard also stank. Some people without PhD's worship people with PhDs, to the point of handing over their money for any smelly scam. 60.250.123.226 (talk) 13:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I remember scouring the net for every RS on MetaMed I could find at the time ... - David Gerard (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
