There's something disagreeable about charging a subscription to search freely-available scientific papers.
Yeah I get you're technically paying for the "advanced" search but it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth because this service's entire existence depends on open source knowledge.
P.S. hiding pricing behind registration isn't cool
