The "unsustainable costs" bit here is hilarious. The current system of academic publishing relies entirely on free labour WHICH HAS A HUGE COST TO RESEARCHERS If journals can't afford to pay that, it says something about publishing as an industryhttps://twitter.com/JeffreyBrainard/status/1366416983131119622 …

This, from Tim Vines, I think gets to the heart of the issue Currently, this cost is paid by academics who receive little/nothing of value in return Why in the world is that acceptable?pic.twitter.com/irdFDgycUd

I completely reject the premise put forward by publishers that the current system is free. It is obviously not, it is merely that the $1,000s cost is shifted from publishers to scientists
