The ultimate Open Access timeline
Physicists, 1991: Hey, look, there is this cool online thing where you can publish papers for nearly free and everyone can read them (arxiv). Libraries: Yay, we can pay for big subscription deals! Publishers: Crickets (counting money) Scholars,...

The Ultimate Open Access Timeline by @brembs. Brilliant!

From my perspective, APCs only exist because 30 years ago, people started to get fed up with the status quo in publishing and later others started to demand all research needed to be published without paywalls
@MikeTaylor @danielsp @kg_kritika @AcademicChatter There may (or may not) be some answers here:
