As a person who just paid a fuckton of money to publish in open access (literally half an hour ago), that HURTS.

Open Access is good, but first we have to abolish an entire publisher industry that lays insurmountable costs - either on readers or researchers themselves. Their work is not remotely worth that money. By making it a public good, we can cut down on so much unnecessary expenses.
