This is tremendously helpful! Thank you.

From that I would assume that there is need for a federated service that blatantly copies this technique. It is indestructible and not profit oriented which will make it a great alternative for people to just publish to on the side. The review process of course needs to be worked out so that it can have good reputation. As in stack overflow, senior authors review junior authors, etc. one could also start by using known accounts of the proprietary journals as base for peer reviews, etc.

I‘m not a scientist, I just create a lot of stuff and have a strong tendency towards open source and federated media.
