For anyone interested, this hack involves uploading self-referencing content to OSF. I pointed this out to OSF and they said that while it's against the spirit of their platform it doesn't break their T&Cs so they will take no further action.
So, if you too want an impressive/ridiculous but meaningless GS page, this is a consequence-free way to do it.
This google scholar page is literally unbelievable. 5.4 M citations, H-index of 1867. Looks to be entirely/mostly driven by self-citation to machine generated content. Impressive hack!
