This sounds similar to adoption of pre-prints like ArXiv; in fields where most papers are accepted for publication (I think it’s 90% in physics) people use it; in fields where most papers aren’t accepted (I think it’s 20-30% in some humanities fields) people find them worthless (since a preprint hasn’t passed the gatekeeper, and that’s actually a significant cull).
