I wish people would work on the systemic issues of access, rather than acting like Elsevier is somehow uniquely responsible. If Elsevier disappeared overnight, there would still be the other 84% of the market.

Efforts like the above just lead to the open access movement getting co-opted by anti-capitalists, which hurts progress.
