Funders can drive change. Authors can't. Authors are producers, not consumers. Producers don't decide demand, consumers do. Funders and research institutes must demand change of their authors, or withhold their funds. It's that simple. Funders have all the cards.

That's why funders hold the power here. Funders can decide to pay for services or not. They can decide to support authors who publish in for-profit journals, or not. They can decide to pay APCs in for-profit journals, or not.

Funders hold all the cards. There's this flawed view that authors are consumers and journals are producers. Wrong.
Funders and institutes are consumers. They contract authors to produce research, and they pay for journals to QC the work.
Funders are the consumers.
