Comment on Walls within walls

Really hope someone comes up, recognizes how much public research money is wasted on this bullshit and sets up a public publisher directly funded by research funds which allows people to publish and read freely.

It’s also insanely efficient to post the link in the search and immediately have the paper.

Yes, much better than the alternative system. Look, I found a cool article about a topic. Let’s open it on the publisher website. Oh I need access for this, let’s login. After login I still have no access and get redirected to institutional login. Get back to publisher, now I have institutional credentials, but need to login again. Finally done!
