This is a huge antipattern because using GlobalScope can lead to memory leaks. Problem with GlobalScope Though in Android, using suspend methods is fairly easy because you can just use viewModelScope because most of the heavy lifting is being done inside viewmodels....

I would delete all these stuff as soon as I know what is the issue, and ready to commit changes. But, having too much verbosity in logs is equally bad and pollutes the log cat....
