Yes. I agree.
The authors have had the solution in front of them from the beginning. They've been free to send out free copies from the time they finish.
But if they want the advantages that come from journals, well, someone is going to need to pay for them.
It's a beautiful sentiment.
Who's going to pay for the layout and editing and filtering? The people at Elsevier do something for their money.
I'm happy with going to all author-circulated preprints, but I'm afraid that all of the archival work of the journals is a pretty good thing.

Sent them an inquiry last month and never heard anything. I think they're taking this privacy blackhole thing too far. Don't waste too much time on this one.
Ugh. I'm not going to bother applying writing. I hate blackholes.
At my last gig, "water cooler" conversations were discouraged because SLack conversations were archived and searchable. No need to wonder what someone said last week, last month or last year. It's all there and ready to read.
It was kind of stupid to come into work when this rule is in effect.
Yup. JavaScript, Node.js, Node, npm, React, Angular, Vue, Express and a few more words mean pretty the same thing and are fishing for the same pool of developers (Yes, I know there's a difference between Angular and React.)
