Why is every single article on modern science a loaded question? Is it bad form to negate your hypothesis?

Ideally no. But kinda.
Null hypotheses don't often get published unless they're surprising in some way. Boring results that don't prove anything aren't gonna get cited much so they go in the bin.

Making your results public IS publishing whether it's in an established scientific journal or some schizo's blog. The distinction is how seriously people are going to take it.
The alternative is achieving practical results which is more of an industry thing.
