I agree with you. The one big problem I see with this whole thing is that, while the fake articles are still up, a lot of people are gonna see them, and plenty will fall for it. Classic old-school marketing and political tactic.

Yeah, with proper PR, they might leave the ecosystem, but it's rare.
Most, if not all, of these papers don't get more than a few citations (unless they have some shady self-citation scheme going on). These papers disappear into oblivion from the moment they are published. Their only purpose is to increase someone's H-factor, satisfy a PhD graduation requirement, or some other stupid reason.
