At least they're not scamming retired people
Hoaxland and Barium are unquestionably liars and scumbags. However scumbaggery is relative. Con artists of their ilk usually practice their profession swindling elderly people out of their life savings or setting up phoney churches and sucking cash out of religious fundamentalists. Hoaxland and Barium are relatively inoffensive preying mostly on hopeless losers. However it is unfortunate that they're increasing the background noise with their phoney "scientific" papers.
