It still leaves the discussion of “what motivates people in a non-profit economy?”. In the science community - probably more than anywhere else - this is peer recognition (which can eventually be turned into money in the form of higher research budgets / government grants / salaries).
As it’s perfectly established to compete for peer recognition online (Hackernews frontpage, Facebook likes, Retweets...) I think Sci-Hub can do wonders here. Why not introduce “Paper of the day”, “Most read article in Neuroscience this month”, “most discussed research”?
