Why should we continue to pay typesetters/publishers lots of money to process (and even destroy) science? And a puzzle for you.

The average large STM publisher receives several thousand USD (either in subscriptions or in author processing charges (APC)) to process an article. This huge and unjustified sum contains not only obscene profits (30-40 %) but also gross inefficiencies and often destruction of scientific content. The point is that publishers decide what THEY want to do irrespective of what authors or sighted human readers want (let alone unsighted readers or machines).
