And she's not very noble to begin with.

She honestly made the world a better place. Having access to scientific literature no matter where I am has certainly improved my life immensely.
I didn't say that isn't true. But her as a person is not who I would want in charge of this "movement". Luckily sci-hub is not the leading source of free scientific articles anymore.
what's the leading source nowadays?
Doesn't Anna's Archive have Sci-Hub as one of its main sources? If so, claiming it's lucky this is an alternative to Sci-Hub doesn't make a lot of sense.
Yeah I wonder what's the backstory there, Anna' is Sci-Hub founder no? Guessing Anna's Archive is some kind of community fork? Idk
Anna is anonymous, they haven't disclosed much about themselves.
Alexandra is the founder of Sci-Hub.
They use the sci-hub dump yes. But sci-hub isn't providing new articles so nothing new is sourced from sci-hub.
But given that we know nothing about the person calling themselves "Anna", how can you be sure it's better than Sci-Hub? Maybe this Anna is also living in Russia.
What's wrong with Sci-Hub, anyway? (Other than it not being updated anymore, of course).
anna's archive, one would assume.
