But I am not going to give eg gated journals one cent more than I am absolutely forced to, and I consider it a moral imperative to make attempting to profiteer off of other people's scientific research as unprofitable and unpleasant as possible.

Servers take resources to keep up. Printed physical copies take paper and take employees to work on the publishing and typesetting end. Open access journals are nice but sometimes there are actual costs involved in running journals and that needs to come from somewhere.
