that's also bullshit, I reviewed papers for publication. it's free labour, hosting a pdf is nearly free.

there's no justification.

I like to keep the submitted version after review but without editing on my public repositories. Even when I publish open access.

Some of the papers I have reviewed was among the worse stuff I read.

I do not want to keep that
