Large swaths of the humanities and social sciences, biology, chemistry...

There are exceptions of course. The preprinters tend to be the more CS/quantitative subfields of these disciplines.

I work in the social sciences where we have lots of overlap with other social sciences, stats, and data science, machine learning.

Those are the domains I know and in those domains anyone born after 1970 knows that if they want to distribute their work they put it on their site or a number of free archives.

As I said, you're probably in a more quant-oriented subfield like economics. Ask your colleagues in field biology, or physical chemistry, or anything less quant/CS/stats/data/tech-flavored.
