For better or worse, papers have been the currency of science. That currency is now undergoing a hyperinflation. We have no idea what the end game is, or the next currency that will replace it.
My colleague Steinn Sigurdsson @steinly0.bsky.social points out that academics are excited to discover that the cost of writing a paper is heading to zero. But they should also note that the value of a paper is also heading to zero.

Just an idle thought but if by doing so North Korea can just waltz in and steal a quarter of their GNP at will, maybe we shouldn't allow people to trade using an unregulated currency mostly used for money laundering, scams, ransomware, pump and dumps, evading sanctions, and bribing the US president.

in 2016 I bought 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM for $80 CAD
but, I paid using a then-new currency you might have heard of: bitcoin
that purchase would be worth about $10k today
