Would be cool to see a decentralized journal or something. No idea how it would work actually work, but since research is supposed to be peer reviewed, why not just let the whole structure of it become open and decentralized?

Before cryptocurrencies really went to shit and became so toxic/scammy, I used to believe crypto could help decentralize it by democraticing the process and making it fully transparent, while also rewarding authors and peer reviewers for their work. But alas

Are you fucking kidding me? Why the hell do we even allow this shit.

You have to pay them money to publish your work so they can sell it to your peers. Oh and you have to work for free reviewing other potential work. It’s the most broken business model ever.
