@schnittchen especially so. like, at least when regular books are published, the author gets money from every copy bought!
@devurandom but I think the problem will solve itself over time due to a generation change
@schnittchen @devurandom hmmm seems like a union is needed...
@devurandom it's a coordination problem. Changing it would require many actors (the authors) to initially act against their own interest (publishing in less renowned journals) so that eventually everybody benefits.
Nash equilibria are nasty beasts.
