Why? 🤑
In just the last 5 years, 4 publishers made $US 41 billion in revenue and $14.7B in profit - money that largely comes from taxpayer-funded research budgets.
For context: the entire 2024 NSF budget was $9B USD.
@elsevierconnect.bsky.social made $3.9B that year at a 38% profit margin. 2/n

We’re asking research funders & universities to step up because together, they have the leverage - and frankly, the responsibility - to stop the drain and redirect billions currently flowing to commercial publishers 💸 back into community-owned systems that serve science, not profit.

Here's the mirror of zero and infinity appears also since each distance is progressively converging towards zero which gives rise to the paradox.

It seems to me that the paradox of dichotomy where one has to travel an infinite sum of finite distance to reach any point to a finite distance is related to this.
