A fellow #postdoc said she'd **Never** publish in Elsevier or MDPI even with waived APCs. She'd rather leave her work as a #preprint in perpetuity than publish with them. It got me wondering:

1. Do other #academics follow similar publishing embargoes?

2. Can such individual actions impact these publishing giants in any meaningful way?
