Why must crypto infect everything good?

Is the incentive even necessary? It would be worth testing if there are enough scientists who are keen to promote information sharing in their field without some minimal reward

I also wonder if this will make the penalties for uploaders more severe since it becomes a commercial act

I have two published papers from way back when, and thanks to the glorious broken incentives of academic publishing, I'm not even allowed to distribute my own work legally.

Most (even ex-)academics hate this crazy system with a passion, I know I do.

There's no need incentivise people to share academic papers, most people with access are only too ready to do so.
