Would you say that the category "researchers that necessitate its continued existence by their publishing practices" includes
- people who publish paywalled papers in journals that don't allow green OA, on the reasoning that everyone can just use SciHub to read them
- people who published in paywalled journals that allow self-archiving, but don't bother to do it

@jonny I mean, I think you're right that SciHub should be discussed, and I include it in all my "how you can keep accessing lit to practice evidence-based public health post graduation" presentations - but I've seen some authors use Scihub's existence as justification for deciding not to care about the practices of their favorite journals

jonny (good kind)

@kdnyhan
Well in addition to that being a terribly cynical way to live your life, its also strictly wrong bc scihub has been in stasis w no new uploads since 2021 as part of a lawsuit thats now sort of complicated to explain.
