It depends on where the work is being published and the discipline. The peer review process that my papers went through before being published in hard science journals was both extensive and lengthy. I suspect much of the retractions were in “softer” sciences. Regardless, this thread is essentially click bait meant to rile people up. I suspect the OP has never published a research paper.
