Workshop papers carry little weight, and don't expect funding to attend

A researcher warns students submitting to workshops: workshop papers carry little weight in the community and are best used for early feedback, visibility, or discussion. He's seen undergrads submit 3-4 and one Twitter profile claim a "PhD's worth of work" from 6-7 workshop papers in 3 months. Also, funding to attend is essentially nonexistent—many students can't even get travel support for main venues.
