Not surprising
Not surprising at all…after all, making it easier/cheaper gets more people reading it in general, and if you can get the full text of one paper for free, and have to pay for another paper on a similar topic, people will tend to gravitate towards the free content.
The only problem with that is that the effect doesn’t often discriminate for quality, just price. So a crappy, but free, paper might get cited more than a well-done, but pricey, alternative…which is a shame.
