Agreed. Open publication, as opposed to gatekeeping publication, is desirable for creative expression in society.

Just imagine how many great works never saw the light of day or reached completion because publishers didn't bite. Obviously the internet and digital media broke this dynamic to a degree, but I'm sure it's a significant amount.
