The real efficacy of the peer review system has always been somewhat questionable. That's a big reason why arxiv is so prominent.

Came to say the same thing. Now remains the time to give the public access to the ACM digital library.

ACM agrees I think: https://dl.acm.org/openaccess

> Beginning January 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library will be made open access.
