Yeah, capitalism has been "corporatizing" the fun out of science and I hate it very much. There is this tendency to force scientific work toward yielding some economic utility instead of it being a means for humans to explore nature.

There are efforts against it though. I remember SciHub came up with an open journal, I think it was called "Open Science", but I don't know what became of it.
