It is complicated for me. They journals who charge $3 pay ~$2+ for the service. Many have a policy of a free reading period or free to historically marginalized folks. No curator is making money off the $3 charge. IN addition, the barrier to entry was there for many back in the day when a copy of Poets and Writers was necessary, a 50¢ stamp and an envelope stuffed with printed material and a trip to the post office required.

That said, you point about $3 adding up is well taken for sure. Because I have the means I most always pay an extra fee if there is that option to give curators room to offer more free subs.
