It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.

It's crazy how entitled journals feel to receive free content from researchers, extract free labour in the form of peer review, and then just slap their name on the content, and paywall the knowledge. The very knowledge that was generated from tax payer's money.

Then they wonder why the academic community thinks poorly of journals and their lackeys.
