"Librarians" fits in the middle panel.

A 3 panel meme depicting the red pill/blue pill scene from the movie The Matrix. The first panel, a red pill with the text "pay to research" and a blue pill with the text "pay to publish". The second panel shows Nemo considering, with the text "researchers". The third panel shows Morpheus with the text "did you just take both pills?".
