Nothing crushes scientific dreams quite like the paywall vortex. You spend hours hunting for that perfect paper with all the answers, only to hit the academic equivalent of "you must be this rich to ride this intellectual rollercoaster." The soul-crushing message appears and suddenly you're contemplating either selling a kidney or emailing the author directly with the subject line: "PLEASE HELP, MY RESEARCH IS DYING." Meanwhile, publishers are swimming in subscription money like academic Scrooge McDucks. The greatest irony in science: knowledge wants to be free, but publishers didn't get the memo.
