Woah, this is a big deal. On a weekly basis I find myself trying to dig deep into research and data on a health abnormality that I'm experiencing and often am greeted by a paywall. It's just not practical for me to pay for access to each article when 95% of them don't end up including the specific information I'm looking for anyways. I think I remember the Indian government proposing something similar to this current sci-hub initiative. Obviously I don't know if sci-hub is the right way to go about these things, and I wonder how this would change the incentivization behind research. From my understanding though the main gatekeepers here like elsevier act as more of a financial leech on the system rather than providing any real value; since they aren't the ones funding the research to begin with. Would be interested to hear other's take on this.
