That moment when you realize the entire scientific publishing industry is basically a legal extortion racket. Scientists spend years doing research, write papers for free, peer-review for free, then PAY THOUSANDS to get published in journals that put their work behind paywalls so no one can read it without forking over more cash. Meanwhile, novelists get advances and royalties. The academic publishing model is so backwards it makes medieval feudalism look progressive. Next time someone asks why scientists are always grumpy, just point to their empty wallets and the Ferrari parked outside Elsevier headquarters.
