Yea, academics need to just shut the publication system down. The more they keep pandering to it the more they look like fools.

I feel like most of the academia in the research side would be happy to see it collapse, but the current system is too deeply tied in the money for any quick change

I worked in academia for almost a decade and never met a researcher who wouldn't openly support sci-hub (well, some warned their students that it was illegal to type these spesific search terms and click on the wrong link downloading the pdf for free)
