You think the preprint landscape has been entirely commercialised?

This isn't really a judgment on Openrxiv, which just reflects the reality of sustaining non-profit infrastructure right now, but it probably shows the need for institutions to get involved in funding the preprint landscape before it's all commercialised rather than community governed.

This means that there is no simple fix to "publish or perish" culture because it is a perfect mix of the defunding/marketisation of higher education and the commercialisation of publishing that's orchestrating the demand.
