I wish the internet could even come anywhere close to all of the useful information in the world. The vast majority of human knowledge, practical or otherwise, is published with a serious price tag.
At the same time I acknowledge that this information requires funds.
Truly a vicious cycle.
I disagree
There is more usefull information freely availabe than any human could ever learn.
Most of the stuff behind paywalls is cutting edge research of the last couple of years.
So most likely nothing ordinary humans need or want to know
I still think all the good textbooks aren't frequently pirated, because tbh who tf gonna buy a $400 minimum book and scan every page?
