Also, donate your time to review papers, an absolutely critical part of "peer reviewed journals", for the people charging you both.

You might have to switch your DNS to one that doesn't block based on copyright

(e.g. Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1)

Actually i think the effort they are making is cool. It goes well beyond piracy and I think is a good idea esp in face of the world rn.

We don't pay for shit. Universities and taxpayers do.
It will be interesting to see what cutting university funding does to publishers who may realize that half their "customers" can't afford their services and have to turn to (quote/unquote) piracy. On the one hand I'm optimistic of a price adjustment. On the otherhand, a nagging suspicion that nothing good can come from the sudden lack of access to research creeps upon me.
