Well, in that case SciHub is definitely more convenient. Repeating the same sob stories sounds time-consuming, and might still get denied.

nono, he was publishing. Maybe it was a requirement of the grant or he didn't want to be behind the paywall-of-shame, but he spent all the grant money on the research. (Bad budgeting? Unexpected bill? dunno).

I guess he would have paid out-of-pocket if the journal didn't accept the sob story.
