All generalisations are false ; )

A number of established journals have had their editorial team quit en masse, and go off and start new Open Access journals. But you're right that the critical mass hasn't been reached yet. As with Titter and Deddit, a minority leaving in disgust still leaves them in a dominant position. For now.

The question is what can we, as the Open Access/ fediverse movements, do to speed the demise of the Elseviers and Titters? What do those still trapped by the network effects of the dinosaur platforms need to help them escape the DataFarms too?

Coming back to the OP, getting the govt to exclude exploitative pay-to-publish models from Open Access publishing obligations would be a good step. An achievable one too, I reckon. The politicians may just not know.
