Journals are such a scam. Pay us so we can charge other people to read your work
I get that it's a fee to safely archive and copy papers properly, with maybe access control and logging. I don't see the fees updating with the times , even if they're still maintaining archives with paper copies as well.
Elsevier and Nature Group are for-profit. That is the problem. Once profit is involved, morals and ideals go out the window
And more specifically, a bunch of parasites that demand to be paid a hundred times what the people who do all work start crowding around the trough, even before the stockholders get their cut.
That’s why it’s broke
