Utter bullshit. I only use these services for academic publications/books (fiction I just get from the library).

Academic articles are paid for with tax money. Fuck private control over tax funded research.

Thanfully my uni email allowed me to acess them but it didnt need to be.

Theres a reason why we call college emails the world's most expensive library card
