Assuming you are in the States, it would be cheaper to enroll in one course a year and use the universities library system to get the papers you need.
What always bothered me about those though is their terribly clunky UI, dozens of redirects, weird auth flows, and more.

Precisely up until not too long ago Netflix wouldn't even grant me as a Linux user FullHD resolution (despite paying for it). We're at a point where for many artists it isn't about having your work stolen or bought, but rather fading into obscurity versus someone enjoying what you created.

- raffael_de 1y agoCan't say for certain, but it seems like I'm now getting the promised resolution. I remember once having set some DRM-relevant setting in about:config - but not for my current setup IIRC. Also am a proud Firefox user but am using Chrome for Netflix - might be part of the "solution".
