It’s the other way around for me. OP has published everything in the open, so I can take him at face value. A PR media release on the other hand, I can accept with some reservations. The objective and non-conspiratorial reading I could offer is, this is most probably two independent discoveries of the same idea, maybe with different implementation. I still think the Jev team should look at prior art before going so hard on the marketing.
if you look at the paper on arxiv, you might see why academics would pass it by
another point of consideration might be if you are taking OP's local statements at face value over what the pre-Jev content actually contains
The reddit commentary around OP's gripe is cringe imo

I don’t mind the cringe. I have access to the information, so I can tell for myself. That’s my definition of face value, not necessarily that I agree, but I am given all the information to make a judgement.
