I hated the 'publish at all costs' attitude I felt while pursuing my PhD and within a post-doc project. IMHO that leads to the huge amount of trash articles and conferences that is now plaguing academia.
Plus it tends to reward established networks of "friends" who assign each other as coauthors on papers rather than individuals doing the hard part of the work.
