Found this https://arxiv.org/

arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for nearly 2.4 million scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv.

There’s also Sci Hub

But yea time for shit to change and drop the parasites

There are a bunch of field-specific preprint services like arXiv: PsyArXiv, SocARXIV, engrXiV, AgriXiv, etc. The OSF also hosts preprints for various disciplines.

The important thing to remember is that preprints are not peer-reviewed and have not been vetted in any way. A paper may change a lot (or just a little) between preprint submission and final publication. A recent paper of mine had a few sections added for clarity, which wouldn't appear in a preprint.

arXiv is standard in cs. We use this on conjunction with peer reviewed venues (also all free and volunteer run) and it's been working out decently well for us. Other fields need to follow suit.
