@Guillawme@fediscience.org No doubt it's required.
2 points about the current system:
1. It hasn't been around for that long. It's easy to thing that this is the way things have always been but they haven't. I went to school with people who got tenure track positions with one paper (early 2000s).
2. It's not sustainable, and is already showing cracks: exponential growth of predatory publishers and A.I. generated papers. And that's not even considering the reproducibility crisis. >>

@Guillawme@fediscience.org Researchers are public servants, and our service is to create usable knowledge. We can't keep publishing extremely expensive papers that are virtually unusable without contact with the original authors without expecting the societies funding us to not notice.
