@starsandrobots@mscain *nod* I spoke up b/c it's not clear who the pirates are here. Publishers borrow music's rhetoric to make us obey. -
@spectralradius@mscain I was unaware of that; this idea came to me as: I want to pay a fixed subscription fee and access everything. -
@starsandrobots@spectralradius Academic publishing is a content farm that pays authors in "exposure" and has the audacity to have a paywall -
@mscain@starsandrobots A reasonable objection: "but editing & peer review costs money!" Except researchers do all of that too, for FREE.
