"Even though academics must publish in order to get/keep their jobs, get promoted, even though they must have access to what others have published in the journals, even though they’re not directly paying for the service, it is possible to spark off a (nascent, to be sure) revolt even here, if your business model is thought to be too unfair."

“While privacy advocates have bristled at the idea of social media monitoring, the government position is that if information is public, it’s fair game for scraping and monitoring.”

“Instead of waiting around for someone to tell you that you matter, take your career into your own hands. In other words, don't wait for someone else to pick you and pick yourself! If you have a book, you don't need a publisher to approve you, you can publish it yourself. It's no longer about waiting for some big corporation to choose you. We've arrived at an age where you choose yourself.”
