So I get that, I agree, and there are sites I pay for. But I can only possibly pay for access to a handful of the thousands of paywalled sites out there.

Bottom line is if it's paywalled, we'll never know if it's even worth putting money towards it. """It sucks for us so we'll make it suck for you so we can extract every last dollar." is not the answer. Hard not to see paywalls as exactly what private equity is doing.
