Science: hey look we found some new knowledge and want to share it with humanity!
Capitalism: you should be charging for that.
Science: no you see the more it gets shared about the more everyone can participate and the more further knowledge we can generate! It's not a zero sum thing! And that wouldn't work if we charged people to access it!
Academic journals: Don't worry Capitalism, we've got this
Capitalism: cheers fam
Science: well fuck
