Trying to read a paper related to my research. I have access to it through my university's arrangements with the publisher, meaning that the uni pays (several £100k per year) for the access.
Publisher website (#Elsevier): error "there was a problem providing the content you requested"
#Scihub website: here you go, read this PDF for free and with no hassle whatsoever
Edit: I wasn't sure that it was really paying "millions per year" so I looked it up. Couldn't find current numbers but I found this list from 10y ago saying most UK unis pay an average of ~£800 000 per year just for Elsevier journals:
