Alexandra Elbakyan manages this truly awesome source of scientific papers completely on her own. She got sued twice and lost, had to change the URL multiple times due to takedowns and only gets along by donations.
She’s the best thing that’s happened to the s scientific publishing field. I’m no longer a student but I still enjoy reading scientific papers and I’ll be damned if I have to pay $20 per article (which doesn’t go to the authors) since I no longer have access to a library that maintains relationships with these big publishers.
