Actually, both Sci-Hub and LibGen are mentioned in the article. Perhaps your ctrl+f failed because the page only loads the next section when you scroll down near the bottom of the page.

- duncan_bayne 10y ago...? I'm confused as to why anyone would do that, when just loading a page of HTML and letting the user scroll is a demonstrably superior solution.
- gavinpc 10y agoThe charitable view is that this saves bandwidth (and load time) for page views that never get scrolled. Also, it may allow them to count the ads in those sections as impressions without having to paginate the article, which presumably they know that people hate. But I think it's ironic for an article about open access to make itself essentially unprintable in this way. It's too long for me to read on the screen. A "page of HTML" would be demonstrably superior for that purpose.
