I am a mathematician, and I do have the incentive to read the results. Two results in the drop were two major life goals of mine, and all I got was three lousy citations. :) But a third question I've spent a lot of time on is a not-so-hard consequence of one of the lemmas in there. So, yeah, I do have the incentive.
Of course, it's not clear at this point whether reporting such a result even matters, but still. In its own right, it's a very cool result.
Thanks for your perspective, genuinely.
What do you do if those results suck like in the article?
Of course, everyone is curious about these results, we're mathematicians after all. But by incentives I refer to those things that really sustain the system: obtaining permanent positions, grants for future projects, ideas for PhD theses, etc.
