The situation with individual mandates in scholarship is analogous to individual responsibility for the climate crisis: it lets the big fish off the hook!
Just like the big emitters need to be regulated to combat the climate crisis, scholarly institutions need to be incentivized to shift their money away from the legacy system.

@aj_boston@hcommons.social @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org @villavelius@mastodon.online @mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie There are at least two beglkected incentives for institutiuons, e.g.: 1) Funders requiring minimal digital infrastructure just as they are requiring non-digital infrastructure. 2) GAOs enforcing procurement rules to rpevent negotiations with monopolist corporations: https://bjoern.brembs.net/2022/03/why-publication-services-must-not-be-negotiated/ This would help speed things up tremendously.
