It is the photo of a person with long dark hair, colourful shirt, and wearing a pirate hat. To their left, the logo of Sci-hub. To their right, that of The Pirate Bay. Over the image float several sentences in white with black border:

That kind of work flow is ok if you have good access to subscriptions but need one obscure paper. Its not an efficient or reliable work flow for many and largely excludes older papers.

It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

Heck, my sister's asked me to get papers she's co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years

It's not a one-size fits all, that's for sure. But I have no subscriptions to anything, and I wouldn't describe anything I do with "work flow."
