Arxiv has its own problems.

You can find dozens of proofs on the arxiv that P=NP and that P!=NP. What does peer “review” look like here? Most people won’t bother to write an article specifically rebutting one random incorrect proof.

Now somebody tomorrow posts a proof that P!=NP. Will people pay attention? If it’s a “big name” or somebody at a university with a good PR office then yes; otherwise no. Doesn’t seem ideal to me.
