You’re buying their reputation they’ve built to provide reliable, peer-reviewed science.
Without sub. fees, they would need to rely on publication fees from authors, and this leads to less reliable publications.

Lol.
The science comes before the engineering.
I’d like to see a cell phone that was invented before the discovery of microwaves. 😂

Every such worthwhile discovery comes through tinkering and exploration by scientifically minded individuals based on open communication and free exchange of ideas, and the institutional gatekeeping of knowledge you’re defending here serves only to stunt the process
