It’s a bad system and maybe without much good infrastructure (innovative employees, legal environment etc) in place to be able to make it good within that system
Also worried that by buying them we will feel less compelled to build it into something better, this system has a decent chance of being disrupted soon (what Unjournal is trying to do, obviously)
I wouldn’t want to ‘reward the bad behavior’ and encourage future bad behavior by buying them out.
Caveats:
This may be a 1x thing so incentives may not matter.
I may be biased by my distaste for Elsevier and a misguided fairness concern
My take is
