https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39054778>Science is facing a "reproducibility crisis" where more than two-thirds of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, research suggests.>"It's worrying because replication is supposed to be a hallmark of scientific integrity,"https://www.wilsonquarterly.com/stories/sciences-under-discussed-problem-with-confirmation-bias/> Research scientists are under pressure to get published in the most prominent journals possible, and their chances increase considerably if they find positive (thus “impactful”) results. For journals, the appeal is clear, writes Philip Ball for Nautilus: they’ll make a bigger splash if they discover some new truth, rather than if they simply refuted old findings. The reality is that science rarely produces data so appealing.> The quest for publication has led some scientists to manipulate data, analysis, and even their original hypotheses. In 2014, John Ioannidis, a Stanford professor conducting researching on research (or ‘meta-research’), found that across the scientific field, “many new proposed associations and/or effects are false or grossly exaggerated.” Ioannidis, who estimates that 85 percent of research resources are wasted, claims that the frequency of positive results well exceeds how often one should expect to find themWhen did you realize that science is all about confirmation bias and mental gymnastics?

When the science community (professors, students, universities, laboratories etc.) was much smaller and less commodified (19th and early 20th century) as well as public interest being not nearly as widespread it was still ideal.
Now that the public cares about "science", corporations can just pay the overabundance of "experts" to publish something in their favor to gain trust. Governments will do this too.
Funnily enough, OP is using the standards of empirical science to prove that they're a valuable asset instead of proving the opposite.

Sometimes I've thought about doing independent studies, but I know that probably nobody would read them or care, or whine about the data I'm able to collect with a limited budget.
