I my opinion this helps fuel the rise of misinformation. How can you expect the average citizen to be informed when they're locked out of the most credible information sources? The academic publishing system is complicit in the disinformation age.

In my observations, unfortunately most of the people spreading misinformation are not really interested in "the truth", but in re-affirming what they already think is the truth. This applies equally to "all sides". This is also compounded by a widespread erosion of institutional trust (whether justified or not). So I don't think it would really help much.
