I mean, you've talked about some of the advantages already, but when you, say, make the pitch at a conference or to an individual academic, how do you pitch it to them about why they should upload their paper?

Yeah.

Um, well, I basically, I, I put it in a few categories.

I'll say one is efficiency, so you can get your work out faster, get more engagement earlier in the process, and that improves quality.

The other is equity, which is you put it in the hands of people who otherwise might have some resource barrier to accessing it, and just the, the overall benefit you get from the signal of openness.

Um, so, uh, you know, I hammer on these categories a- and I think it kinda depends where people are in their research.

Um, one thing about our service is we don't take papers down.

So taking a bird's-eye view, how do you view the state of the discipline right now?
