Agree! It's really ridiculous and quite sad. I am no longer at a University so basically everything I read is stolen via Scihub.

Hopefully, more and more researcher will continue to preprint their work. Something we're trying to help with at https://www.authorea.com (disclosure: I work there)

It's a great site, which documents a horrible situation.

It'd be cool if it also showed which papers have preprints online. And which (I presume virtually all) are available via SciHub. Even links, if possible :)

And a funny thing is that, even though I work in a university, I still find myself using Scihub sometimes. Either we do not have the access (old papers are a problem) or I'm not present at work.
