Very true. I’ve benefited from doing that countless times, and I keep final drafts of all of my work in folders organized by publisher title explicitly so that I can pass it forward if anybody ever emails me looking for something ive written that is now behind a paywall
(I deleted my last comment because it ended up more vitriolic than I want on the internet forever, but for anybody reading this afterwards the gist of my deleted comment earlier in the thread was “I do not respect academic publishers")
Fuck publishers, the only reason I go along is that it is necessary for my career. If I could I’d publish everything on my own website.
You’re very welcome to ask me for any paper I published.

Obligatory reminder to just email the authors, they’ll give it to you for free 99% of the time

Not within the time frame that you’re interested in. I’m not waiting anywhere between a day and 3 months for them to see and reply to my email.
