Unlike wikipedia, they don’t offer a full torrent of the site, so it’s hard to estimate. I guess the closest point of comparison would be Anna’s archive index, since they have a rough filesize total?

So about $800 in HDDs. Steep but reasonable for all the knowledge man has acquired so far.

All of human knowledge is not encoded into academia.
Academia is heavily western biased.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not wrong. Sci-Hub focuses on academic journal articles, which are a pretty novel phenomenon. The first journal was created in the 17th century, and journals didn’t become the primary medium for publications until well into the 19th century. I wouldn’t say academia is “biased” per se, but it’s true that the academic publishing business is heavily dominated by western companies.

Then get digitizing. We have unicode and AI text extraction.
