I’d rather use sci-hub than institutional access when the article is available. Fuck publishers.
Really hope someone comes up, recognizes how much public research money is wasted on this bullshit and sets up a public publisher directly funded by research funds which allows people to publish and read freely.
Yes, much better than the alternative system. Look, I found a cool article about a topic. Let’s open it on the publisher website. Oh I need access for this, let’s login. After login I still have no access and get redirected to institutional login. Get back to publisher, now I have institutional credentials, but need to login again. Finally done!

It’s also insanely efficient to post the link in the search and immediately have the paper.
