I'll leave for sure, but for other reasons than in CS. In CS people leave because they get better salaries and have better job prospects outside academia. In my area, people leave because of lack of career prospects, almost no tenure-track positions, favoritism and corruption. But the decisive reason for me is that our small & poor European country has switched to the new "Pan S" for open science publications. This may seem like a good idea at first, isn't it great that every publication for a funding authority needs to be open access? Well, the problem is that in my area there are at most two good and free open access journals. At most. Every top journal is run by traditional publishers, and funding authorities have explicitly stated they will discourage and limit payment of open access fees. Ironically, the better the journal, the higher the open access fees, and the less it is possible to get funding for them. As nice as open access sounds in theory, in practice this new "Plan S" policy will mean that bullshitters who game the system and shouldn't even be in academia will win big time and can spit out one crappy publication after another. I've met people in my profession who literally said "Who cares if its false? It's another publication in your CV!" The difference between fringe journals and the top journals is unbelievably high in my discipline, people used to even count bad publications negatively, and a few publications in top journals used to give you a tenure-track position. To give you an idea of the difference, the former have acceptance rates of about 100%, the latter have acceptance rates of less than 5%. Now the top journals won't even count any longer at all in evaluations by our funding authority. There is so much crap published nowadays, they should limit the allowed number of publications/year; instead they are going for the opposite, a large number of publications in fringe and even self-published open access journals. Some of my colleagues are already literally starting their own journals. I admit that there are many disciplines where open access works better, but not in mine. Maybe "Plan S" will have great and noble effects in 20-30 years from now, but for the generation in-between it's a complete disaster for anyone interested in quality. For me that's the decisive reason to leave.
